A 1922 Gold Certificate for $10, with the portrait of Michael Hillegas, first treasurer of the United States. The reverse of this bill was a rendering of the face of the Great Seal (the eagle).
There never was a $1 Gold Certificates, $10 was the smallest denomination ever issued for Gold Certificates, although there was a $5 National Gold Bank Note issued 1870-73 by various National Banks in California.
Maybe I had a one-dollar silver certificate. I don't remember. I do remember it said "Treasury Note" and not Federal Reserver Bank, and that it was pretty old.
