Ten featured pictures were promoted this week.
- Twenty-dollar, fifty-dollar, one-hundred-dollar, five-hundred-dollar, five-thousand-dollar, and ten-thousand-dollargold certificates from the 1882 series (created and nominated by Godot13) The 1882 series of U.S. Gold Certificates was nominated as a set. These bills, used to show ownership of gold instead of storing the actual gold, are the latest outcomes of Godot13's work with the Smithsonian Institution on the documentation of currency.
- John Hay (created by C.M. Gilbert, restored and nominated by Adam Cuerden) John Hay, private secretary to President Abraham Lincoln, and Secretary of State under William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. Readers may recognise this image:Adam Cuerden restored it in celebration of the article on John Hay reaching featured article status, as reported in the 13 August issue of the Signpost.
- John Jellicoe, 1st Earl Jellicoe (nominated by Adam Cuerden) British Admiral John Jellicoe (5 December 1859 – 20 November 1935). He is wearing the uniform of the Admiral of the Fleet, which rank he achieved in 1919. This image forms part of the Military History Wikiproject's attempt to celebrate the ongoing centenary of World War I.
- U.S. Colonial note printed by Benjamin Franklin (created by Benjamin Franklin and David Hall, nominated by Godot13) Three pence Colonial currency from the Province of Pennsylvania, as printed by Benjamin Franklin. The rough borders are typical for currency from this era; horrifyingly, many dealers will take scissors to these ancient currencies to neaten them up and make them fit modern æsthetics. Learning this resulted in quite a bit of cringing.
- New Court of Corpus Christi College (created by David Iliff, nominated by Armbrust) David Iliff, a.k.a. Diliff, continues his photography of Britain's cathedrals and universities with the New Court of Corpus Christi College, part of Cambridge University.
