1907- Legal Tender PMG 25 .. WOODCHOPPER! Fr#88

Description

A scarce banknote first issued more than a century ago!
The legendary series 1907 “Woodchopper” is the last large-size U.S. Legal Tender Note — known as a “horse blanket” — ever produced.
Named for the stirring central vignette of a hardy settler, axe in hand, standing before his family; on the left is a commanding portrait of Andrew Jackson.
The seal and serial number are printed in a vivid red, unlike the green used on modern notes; the back features a circular central design flanked by two ovals.
U.S. notes of the time were commonly called Legal Tender Notes because of their payment obligation stating “This Note is a Legal Tender.”
