This listing is for the photographed 1863 Confederate States of America 5 Dollar Note.

Red stamp on right end saying "May 1863", likely when the note was issued or deposited. The banknote shows a vignette of the Capital Building at Richmond, Virginia at the center, and a portrait of the Confederate Secretary of the Treasury C. G. Memminger on the right end.

Confederate Treasury Notes (banknotes) were ultimately issued in 50¢, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500 and $1,000 denominations with a variety of designs, issuers and redeemable obligations. The amount of currency issued under the various acts of the Confederate Congress totaled $1.7 billion. Bills were released in 72 different note "types" in seven "series" from 1861 through 1864.

Since there were many types of Confederate notes as well as notes issued by the states of the Confederacy, and since banks could issue their own notes, counterfeiting was a major problem for the Confederacy. Many of these contemporary counterfeits are identifiable today and they can be as valuable to a collector as a real note.

Thanks for stopping by!
