Very Fine.A second certificate from this loan issue, but due March 4, 1894. Visually very exciting with a superb color scheme. Style as the $1000.

Top center, Mohawk Indian as used on obsolete notes. Cherokee Outlet sale obligation on the back. Extremely rare and unusual. There are few denominations in the series and only a few known.
