This
is a great example of the beauty of design in Confederate currency. It is the
1861 dated Confederate States of America $5.00 note. In the center of the note
it has the sailor seated beside bales of cotton. On the right hand side it has
the image of the Goddesses Ceres & Justice. Ceres was the Roman Goddess of
agriculture & grain and of course we all known who Justice was. On the left
hand side it has the image of C.C. Memminger who served as the Confederate
Secretary of the Treasury and was the key man in production of Confederate
paper money. It was issued on September 2nd 1861 from Richmond. This is the
version listed as T-37 in Criswell's Confederate Currency book. It is correctly hand
signed and numbered in ink. Along the bottom of the note you see the half moon cutout slices in the paper. This is where the note was taken out of circulation. This lets us know it was actually used during the War. The note is in circulated condition and comes in an
acid-free holder for preservation and display. This is a very attractive early Confederate note.
