Series 1890 is the first Series of $1000.00 Coin Notes. The portrait on the left of the face is of General George Gordon Meade, a Civil War Union General. This Note is often refered to as the "Grand Watermellon" because of its denomination and the fact that the Zeros on the back look like watermellons.
