5 Cents Third Issue Fractional Currency Fr. 1238 PMG Choice UNC 64 EPQ

Green Back. Bust of Spencer M. Clark, the first Superintendent of the National Currency Bureau, who famously placed his own portrait on the U.S. 5-cent fractional currency note (Third Issue, 1864) instead of explorer William Clark. This 1864 act of hubris caused a public uproar and led Congress to pass a law in 1866 prohibiting living people from appearing on federal currency.
