The Treasury Note was issued by the United States government for a brief period in the early 1890s as a form of representative paper money. The notes were issued across two series, one in 1890 and one in 1891, and were acceptable through 1893. Over the brief course of the program, several denominations were issued to include a $1000 note as the largest denomination in the series. Right now, 4 oz 1890 $1000 Treasury Grand Watermelon Note Replica Plate Silver Bars are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Bar Highlights:
Each of the 4 oz 1890 $1000 Treasury Grand Watermelon Note Replica Plate Silver Bars is available to you as a brand-new specimen from the mint. The bars are individually packaged inside of plastic capsules. The design of these massive plate silver bars replicates the exacting details of the 1890 $1000 Treasury Note from the United States.
The Treasury Note Series was authorized by the Sherman Silver Purchase Act. Also known as the Coin Note, the Treasury Note was available in denominations of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, and $1000. A $500 note was designed, but never released in the series. There were two design releases. The 1890 Series included all of the denominations noted above, with the exception of the $50 note. The $50 note was added with the release of the 1891 series. The original 1890 $1000 Treasury Note sold for over $2 million at auction.
The obverse side of 4 oz 1890 $1000 Treasury Grand Watermelon Note Replica Plate Silver Bars features inscriptions of the nation of issue and denomination of the original note in both written text and numbers. To the left of the design field, there is a left-profile portrait of General George Meade. This design captures the image of a man who served as a civil engineer prior to his time in service as an officer in the Union Army during the Civil War. His career in the Army saw him rise from commanding a brigade to leading the entire Army of the Potomac. His greatest achievement during the war was the defeat of Confederate General Robert E. Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg, a major turning point in the war.
On the reverse face of the 1890 $1000 Treasury Grand Watermelon Note Replica Plate Silver Bars are large numbers identifying the denomination of the original Treasury Note. The note got its name “Watermelon Note” for the size and appearance of the zeros in the denomination of “1000” on the reverse. If you look closely, these zeros look like large watermelons.

"The best feature about this is how thin the bar is - it's as close to a bill as possible. The art is beautiful. JM never disappoints!"
"Bought two of these when they first released on JM Bullion and was astounded by the quality and luster of these. They come in a protective case that makes you want to show it off! I am a stacker but I recommend buying one."
"Today I received this gorgeous Silver Bar. This Bar is a stunning work of art. Thank you JMB for sending this to me so quickly."
"Typically buying only to stack, I bought two of these simply for their beauty. And BOY is it every bit a work of art! I am so glad I made this purchase."
"Can't wait to show my buddy at work this one!! Very well detailed and High Quality made. "Love the history behind it.""
"This is a very nice piece - impressive! My adult grandsons opened the package, a deliberate action on my part, and were blown away with the beauty of this bar. Unfair, I admit, but no apologies. The handsome photoengraving is delicately detailed - but for the inclusion of the weight; I cannot find it marked anywhere. Purity, yes. Weight, no. The 'box' is the sturdy plastic case that protects the bar (I'm using a discarded iPhone box over that). Regardless - I couldn't be more pleased and hope there will be more such replicas. "
