Description: BEP souvenir card B 24 ANA 1973 face 1896 $5 Educational silver certificate Mint B24 ANA 1973 souvenir card (BEP) Mint DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING WASHINGTON, D.C. This print is the final card of a set of three devoted to the renowned Series 1896 Silver Certificates. It is a replica of the $5 note of that group and was printed from a plate specially prepared for this purpose from the original master die. Walter Shirlaw, a well-known illustrator of the period and an accomplished banknote engraver, was commissioned by the Bureau to prepare the note design, which he entitled, "America". However, the borders and denominational counters he proposed were felt to lack harmony with the vignette and those features were accordingly redesigned by Thomas F. Morris,Chief of the Bureau's Engraving Division.It is of numismatic interest that Shirlaw also prepared a design for a proposed $10 note of the Series. Contrary to popular belief that plates were made for such a note, no evidence can be found that work progressed any further than the preparation of a die. Apparently, the situation was attributable to doubt as to the legality of bills of that denomination, since they were not specifically provided for in the Act of August 4, 1886 whichauthorized the series.
