The 1969-C $50 Federal Reserve Note is a collectible example of modern United States paper currency. Issued as part of the 1969-C series, this note features the classic small-size Federal Reserve Note design and the familiar green Treasury seal.
The face displays a portrait of Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States and commanding general of the Union Army during the Civil War. The reverse features an engraved image of the United States Capitol, representing the nation's legislative government.
This example is a star note, identified by the star symbol in its serial number. Star notes were printed to replace defective notes discovered during production and are generally collected separately from regular-issue notes.
