1914 $5 Federal Reserve Large Banknote (1st Fed. reserve notes)

The 1914 $5 Federal Reserve Note is a historical piece of U.S. currency, marking a key moment in the evolution of the nation's monetary system. Issued by the Federal Reserve System, which was established in 1913 to address the banking instability that had plagued the United States, these notes represented a new era in U.S. currency. Unlike earlier notes, which were issued directly by the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Notes were issued by regional Federal Reserve Banks, each identified by a district number and unique letter. The 1914 $5 Federal Reserve Note was one of the first series of notes to be issued under this new system, and it is considered an important part of U.S. monetary history.

The note measures 7.375 x 3.125 inches and features a portrait of President Lincoln on the front and a vignette of Columbus in Sight of Land and the Landing of the Pilgrims on the back
