Obverse

The female allegory known as Electricity is found on the obverse side of $5 Educational Legal Tender Notes. Her effigy is shown here holding a light aloft for the world, showcasing the power of electricity to provide light to the world at any time of the day.

Reverse

The Lincoln Memorial is depicted in the reverse design of $5 Educational Legal Tender Notes. The $5 bill in the Federal Reserve Note series was last updated in 2006 with modern anti-counterfeiting measures, modifying the imagery of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the Lincoln Memorial here on the reverse. An effigy of President Lincoln has been on $5 bills for more than a century, with the Lincoln Memorial added to the Federal Reserve Note series of bills in 1929.

History

The imagery of the female allegory of Electricity found here on the $5 Educational Legal Tender Note comes directly from Americas most-coveted series of paper note designs. In 1896, the Educational Series was introduced on the $1, $2, and $5 Silver Certificates. The issuance of Silver Certificates from 1878 to 1964 allowed Americans to exchange the certificates at any time for silver dollars, and later silver bullion, and was one of many forms of paper currency in circulation in the country at that time.
