the source of the portrait on the $10 bill is john trumbull's 1805 painting of hamilton that belongs to the portrait collection of new york city hall. the $10 bill is unique in that it is the only denomination in circulation in which the portrait faces to the left. it also features one of two non-presidents on currently issued u.s. bills, the other being benjamin franklin on the $100 bill. hamilton is also the only person not born in the continental united states or british america (he was from the west indies) currently depicted on u.s. paper currency; three others have been depicted in the past: albert gallatin, switzerland ($500 1862/63 legal tender); george meade, spain ($1,000 1890/91 treasury note); and robert morris, england ($1,000 1862/63 legal tender; $10 1878/80 silver certificate).
