Series 2013 United States Two-Dollar Star Note

This is a United States Federal Reserve Note with a face value of two dollars, featuring a portrait of Thomas Jefferson. The bill is identified as a 'Star Note' by the presence of a five-pointed star at the end of the serial number (L03207020*), indicating it was printed as a replacement for a misprinted or damaged original note. The serial number begins with 'L', signifying the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. It is from Series 2013, bearing the facsimile signatures of Rosa Gumataotao Rios (Treasurer of the United States) and Jacob Lew (Secretary of the Treasury). The bill features traditional green and black ink on a linen/cotton paper substrate. Physically, the note appears to be in circulated condition with visible handling marks. Notable condition issues include a soft vertical fold along the center and horizontal rippling along the top edge, suggesting it has not been stored in a rigid protector. The margins appear relatively uniform, though the bill shows the typical softness associated with standard circulation. The reverse, though not fully visible, would depict John Trumbull's painting 'Declaration of Independence.' Star notes are generally more sought after by numismatists than standard notes due to their lower print runs and roles as replacement currency.
