The last example from this rare Sutler series we will offer this evening and the highest denomination for the issue we have seen. This $2 Remainder is laid out as the rest. Uniface. Printed on bond paper. 110mm by 60mm. Lithographed in blue and red without an imprint. The style and format as the previous denominations. Red "SUTLERS CHECK" curved as an undertint in the center. Within a plain blue border frame, "GOOD FOR/TWO DOLLARS,/PAYABLE IN MERCHANDISE" across center. The letters in the center are partially shaded. At the top, "FORT LYON, COL. TER." in bold lettering just below serial number space and part printed date "186_". At the bottom left, large block counter "$2". Space to sign note at the lower left. Part of the history of Fort Lyon is the notorious Sand Creek Massacre in which militiamen from Fort Lyon, led by Colonel John Chivington, attacked and destroyed a Native American village that was under the impression of being protected by their very attackers. The assault killed as many as 160 Cheyenne and Arapaho, mostly women and children. This $2 is clean and boldly printed with just a few light folds observed. A captivating note from this important Sutler Territorial series.，
