Which feature on the $50 bill is a watermark of Grant visible on both sides?

• A. Watermark of Grant
• B. Color shifting ink
• C. Security thread
• D. Raised ink printing

Answer: (A)

Watermarks are images embedded in the paper during its production, so they aren’t printed on the surface. On the fifty-dollar bill, the watermark is a portrait of Grant that appears when you hold the bill up to the light. Because the image is woven into the paper itself, it can be seen from both sides when light passes through. This makes it distinct from other features like color-shifting ink (which changes color with angle and is printed on the surface), the security thread (a separate embedded line), or raised ink printing (tactile texture).
