This is a very beautifully designed original 1863 dated
State of North Carolina $5.00 Note. It has a beautiful panoramic view of the
city and harbor of the city of Wilmington, North Carolina in the center of the
note. On the left hand side it has the standing view of Lady Liberty with the
shield by her side. In the lower right hand corner it has the image of the
North Carolina State treasurer at the time who was Jonathan Worth. If you
notice there is the word "FIVE"
printed on the face of the note in red ink. This was an attempt to stop
counterfeiters from copying the note. It was issued from Raleigh on January 1st
1863 and is so dated down by the image of Worth. The note is correctly hand
signed and numbered in fine old ink. It is in nice displaying almost uncirculated condition. This nice authentic note comes in an acid
free holder for display and preservation.
