Here is an authentic 1861 dated Confederate States of America savings bond. This is the style issued under the act of the Confederate Congress on August 19th 1861 in the $1,000 denomination. The ink date of issue is November 21st 1861. It is the style that has image of the Goddesses Ceres and Commerce by an English shield. In the background it has the sailing ships in the distance. If you notice there are still 4 of the original bond coupons intact at the bottom. When the date arrived that is printed on the bottom of the coupon you could cash it in for your interest payment. It is correctly hand signed and numbered by the Confederate Government officials in fine brown ink. This is the Confederate bond listed as CR-80 and Ball as #43 in the bond books. It was lithograph printed by Hoyer & Ludwig of Richmond, Virginia and is so marked in the lower part of the top section. Another thing that is cool about this bond is the stamp on the right hand side. After the Confederacy fell to the Union and the war was over, there were still thousands of dollars of Confederate bonds in banks and private hands over seas. The bonds still had to be accounted for overseas. This stamp shows that this one was accounted for in Europe. This is a couple of very interesting things to point out to your friends when you who them the bond. This is a very attractive original Confederate States savings bond with a beautiful center design.
