Confederate banknotes ranged from being interest-bearing notes payable after 12 months or 2 years, depending on the series of issue. Later notes were only payable within six months to two years of ratification of a peace treaty between the United States and the Confederate States.

Designs

History

The 4^th Series of $100 Confederate banknotes featured three different producers and two different designs. Keatinge & Ball of Richmond, Virginia, issued a design with slaves working in a field along with a vignette of John C. Calhoun. J.T. Patterson & Co of Columbia, South Carolina, issued the designs found on these particular notes. Hoyer & Ludwig of Richmond, Virginia, also issued this design. There is a slight difference in the appearance of the steam on some of the notes, with some showing diffused steam rising from the smokestack of the locomotive, while others should more billowing.

You can tell which particular notes youve received by looking at the city of issue printed on the obverse of the note. You will also find a handwritten date of issue on the obverse of the notes, with date marks of 1862 and 1863 possible.
