It is the style that has image of the four small boys who are harvesting the grapes and wheat. If you notice there are still 5 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-81 in the bond book by Criswell and as B47 in the Ball Confederate Bond Book. It was lithograph printed by Hoyer & Ludwig in Richmond, Virginia and is so marked in the lower part of the top section. There were 1,199 of this pattern of bond issued and this one has the hand written serial numbers of "562". 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 Amsterdam in December of 1881.This is a very attractive original Confederate states savings bond with a beautiful center design.
