  • Summary: A smaller version of no. 1865-7, issued later the same year and printed from one rather than two lithographic stones. In this version the figure of Lincoln is more convincingly drawn, but the continent is cropped and misshapen.

The words "Washington made under providence and Lincoln saved" appear above the figures.
