Name the notes that Pocahontas appears on.

 

Starting in 1865 a $20 national bank note where the reverse features "The Baptism of Pocahontas" in black, and a green border.

 

Starting in 1869 a large size $10 United States Note was issued with a portrait of Daniel Webster on the left and an allegorical representation of Pocahontas being presented to the Royal Court of England on the right side of the obverse. This note is nicknamed a "[embarrassing lack of self control] note" because the eagle on the front looks like a donkey when the note is turned upside down.
