The 1922 $10 Gold Certificate (Fr. 1173) is a remarkable piece of American monetary history, representing an era when United States paper currency was directly tied to gold. Featuring the distinguished portrait of Michael Hillegas, the first Treasurer of the United States, this historic banknote is celebrated for its iconic golden-orange reverse and classic early 20th-century design.
