About This Item
The first is dated February 20, 1863. It measures 14" square and was printed on pink paper. It was lithographed by Archer & Daily of Richmond, Virginia and features an Illustration of General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson who would die from friendly fire at the Battle of Chancellorsville three months later. It is hand-numbered "2053" and bears manuscript initials and a signature. The bond paid 7% interest. Eight $35 coupons originally were printed below the main certificate, each dated as to when it could be cashed. Once all the coupons had been clipped and cashed, the large certificate would could have been turned in for $1,000. As is the case with nearly all surviving examples of these certificates, one of the coupons (for January 1, 1865) has been clipped and likely cashed. In nice shape with some light edgewear and storage folds.
The second is dated March 1, 1864. It measures approximately 17" x 28" and was printed in orange and black. The bonds were engraved by J. Archer of Richmond, Virginia and printed by Evans & Cogswell of Columbia, South Carolina. The bond paid 6% interest. The certificate is identified as being from the "Second Series." It features an illustration of an equestrian statue of George Washington, Confederate flags, and the motto of the Confederacy, "Deo Vindice" (God as our Defender). It is hand-numbered 8548 and bears manuscript initials and a signature. Sixty $30 coupons originally were printed below the main certificate, each dated as to when it could be cashed. Once all the coupons had been clipped and cashed, the large certificate would have been eligible to exchange for $1,000. A red Confederate treasury hand stamp is in the upper right margin. As is the case with most surviving examples of these certificates, one of the coupons (for January 1, 1865) has been clipped and likely cashed. In nice shape with some edgewear and storage folds.
