One of the most famous types of U.S. currency is the Fr. 752 Original Series $2 'BATTLESHIP' Note, dating to the World War I era. It's readily apparent how this note acquired its nickname: A large Battleship on its back covers more than half the width of the note's back.

This pen and ink drawing was graded PCGS CHOICE NEW 63 PPQ.

 Tim Prusmack (1962–2004) was an American artist. He specialized in pen-and-ink drawings of U.S. currency.

His art work was so unique that it earned him the title of the "Mozart of Money Art". Several bank notes that were privately commissioned by such countries as Ireland (i.e. the beautiful "Irish Note") are not available in the United States. One piece of art took him weeks and even months of intensive work in which he drove himself for perfection.

As a young child Tim Prusmack started coin collecting and his skill in art and love of history fused perfectly in his "money art". Before starting a piece of money art, Prusmack would study the portraits of the people he would draw and read about their lives extensively. He claimed this gave him "insight into their point of view" and assisted Prusmack in drawing "the look in their eyes".

Death and legacy:

Just before his death, Prusmack was wanted for the coveted and unique position as a money designer for the U.S. Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Just before the surgery that resulted in his death, he eagerly looked forward to this role. Prusmack's legacy to the art world and numismatic world is unique. In addition, Prusmack created beautiful cover art and posters for many numismatic organization. He supported youth in numismatic activities.
