Description
Vibrant and beautifully designed original Confederate States of America savings bond. This is an original C.S. bond and it was to be issued for the sum 100.00. This is the 1864 issue that has the Confederate Equestrian figure in the center of the top which is the great seal of the Confederacy. On the left hand side of the bond it has the image of “JUSTICE” and on the right hand side it has “LIBERTY”. This one has 59 of the original interest coupons attached at the bottom with one cut from the sheet. When the date on the coupon arrived that is printed on the bottom of the coupon you could cash it in for your interest payment, if the Confederacy would have won. The bond is hand signed and numbered in fine old ink. This bond is 100% authentic in all regards. The reverse of the sheet has the red ink stamp of the Confederate Treasury Department. These were engraved by J. Archer of Richmond, Virginia and were printed by the Evans & Cogswell firm of Columbia, South Carolina and you can see the South Carolina seal on this one as well. This is the style listed as CR-142 in the Confederate bond book by Criswell. This example still retains much of the vibrant coloring. No tears or separation along the fold lines. Measures 26″ x 17″. This would look super framed and hanging on your wall
