These paper notes were mainly produced in Richmond, Virginia, or Columbia, South Carolina, throughout the war.

Obverse

On the obverse of the 1864 Confederate States of America Notes, youll find an ornate design. The central image shows Confederate soldiers on horseback pulling a cannon. In the bottom-right corner, there is a portrait of Robert M.T. Hunter, a significant figure who served as a U.S. Representative from Virginia and later as the Confederate States Secretary of State and a Confederate Senator.

Reverse

The reverse of the 1864 $10 CSA Notes features a simple design, displaying the word “TEN” at the center with the numeric value “10” in each corner.

History

Confederate currency has several unique characteristics. Physically, no two Confederate Notes are exactly the same since most were hand-cut from printed sheets, not machine-cut. This results in uneven edges from one note to the next. Additionally, many notes were given handwritten serial numbers and signatures instead of being stamped or printed. Confederate Notes were surprisingly detailed in their design, which was a necessity of the day to help deter counterfeiting.
