$500 Federal Reserve Note
PMG Very Fine 30
Dated 1934

This 1934A $500 Federal Reserve Note, issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, stands among the highest denominations ever released into U.S. circulation. Graded PMG Very Fine 30, this example displays firm paper quality, clear coloration and legible detail throughout—attributes that attest to its well-preserved state. High-denomination notes of this kind were printed primarily for interbank transfers and large-scale financial settlements, and rarely entered public circulation.

The face bears a finely engraved portrait of President William McKinley, surrounded by intricate scrollwork and classic security motifs characteristic of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s artistry during the early 20th century. Issued in the depths of the Great Depression, the 1934A series represents the final generation of $500 notes before the denomination’s withdrawal from circulation in 1969. The “E5” indicators and corresponding serial numbers denote its issue from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, one of twelve regional banks within the Federal Reserve System.
