The designs for the faces of these bills for the Series of 1882 for these higher denominations were retained from the original series or charter for national bank notes that began during the Civil War in 1863. On the fifty, Washington is crossing the Delaware on the left, and he is praying on the right. On the hundred, Commodore Perry is leaving his flagship the Lawrence during the Battle of Lake Erie in 1813, and Liberty is seated next to Fasces on the right.
