The Historical Significance of the 1901 Bison Note
The original Series 1901 Ten Dollar United States Note, often called the Bison Note, is a legendary piece of American large-size currency. Its central image of a majestic American Bison was a powerful symbol of the American West, which at the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition was plentiful and served as a vital resource for Native American tribes. This note was one of the last of its type issued and is highly sought after by collectors for its artistic and historical merit.
The note honors the legacy of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, who were tasked by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase. Their expedition from 1804 to 1806 was a monumental journey that mapped the American West and established a claim to the Oregon Territory.
