The American Historic 'The Full Color' Framed United States Two-Dollar Bill with Certificate of Authenticity

This item is a framed commemorative display featuring a United States two-dollar bill. The bill itself is notable for its depiction of John Trumbull's 'Declaration of Independence' painting on the reverse side, presented here in full color, which is an unusual feature for circulating currency; typically, this image is monochromatic (green or black and white). The bill is housed within a protective, clear plastic or acrylic sleeve, which in turn is mounted on a brown, perhaps faux-leather or cardstock frame with a recessed border design. The visual style of the framing suggests an emphasis on historical or patriotic presentation. Adjacent to the framed bill, and presumably part of the same set, is a 'Certificate of Authenticity' from 'The American Historic Society.' This certificate is printed on cream-colored paper with a decorative border and green seal and text, confirming the item's authenticity and likely providing details about its provenance or limited edition status, though the fine print is illegible. The overall condition appears to be excellent; the bill itself shows no visible signs of creasing, tearing, or discoloration, suggesting it might be uncirculated or minimally handled. The frame and certificate also appear crisp and free of damage. The item is designed as a collectible, emphasizing its historical significance and rarity due to the colorized depiction of the iconic artwork on the currency. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard commercial quality for commemorative collectibles.
