In 1893, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing approached a small group of artists to submit proposed designs for a new series of banknotes. Just three designs were ultimately issued in 1896, among them, the $5 "Electricity Presenting Light to the World" banknote, featuring Ulysses S. Grant and Philip Sheridan, defenders of the Union during the American Civil War.

This coin is made by American mint, and lists on their website for $80.00 dollars. I think this coin is exquisite and beautiful, but I think the reason they are asking so much is, no one else makes these, there were only 9,999 made, and you can't get them anywhere else. The one I have was given to me in a trade with a Great Listian!
