This listing is for the photographed 1960's Facsimile Advertisement of an 1861 Confederate States of America 50 Dollar Note. Issued during the Centennial celebration of the Civil War. Advertisement for the publishing company H. M. Crider & Co. telling other merchants to print their own ads on the back of Confederate facsimile banknotes. This advert is in Very Fine (VF) grade/condition, and an excellent piece of history! Great addition to any collection!
In the 1960s, facsimile Confederate banknotes became popular in the U.S. as promotional items, often distributed in newspapers, magazines, and novelty shops. These reproductions, printed to resemble original Confederate currency from the Civil War, were largely created as collectible souvenirs rather than for any deceptive purposes. Businesses, especially advertisers, used them in creative ways to grab attention, sometimes attaching a discount or sale offer alongside the fake bills.
Incredible interesting artifact from this era of American history!
Thanks for stopping by!
