Confederate Paper Currency Notes
As you might imagine, federal funds were cut off to Southern States when they seceded from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America. And so, to keep its economy going, the Confederacy printed these $5 Confederate Notes.
Rebel Currency From The Heart Of Dixie
Here we have an 1864 $5 Note printed the year that Union General William T. Sherman captured Atlanta and began his “March to the Sea,” campaign that assured President Abraham Lincoln would be elected for a second term. This note features the same obverse as the 1863 note, but with “FIVE” across the back instead of a V. This note is of particular fascination for collectors, as an 1864 $5 Confederate Note was found in Lincoln’s wallet on the day he was assassinated.
An Historic Piece Of Civil War History
More than 150 years old, it’s remarkable that any of these historic pieces of Civil War history have survived. Most were destroyed following the Southern defeat in the Civil War because they were deemed worthless with no government to back them with hard assets. But the notes available here all come in moderately circulated Very Fine (VF) condition. Now you can travel back in time to an era when brother fought against brother for the very fate of the nation itself. Add these $5 Confederate Notes to your collection today!
