Description

Offered here is an original Confederate States of America $500 loan bond, issued in Richmond, Virginia on May 24, 1862 under the Act of Congress C.S.A. August 19, 1861. This extraordinary document carries an 8% annual interest rate, payable January 1, 1868—terms that never materialized with the fall of the Confederacy. • Denomination: $500, a scarcer and more desirable issue • Serial No.: 1044, handwritten in brown ink • Signatures: Authentic Confederate Treasury signatures, bold and legible • Printer: Evans & Cogswell, Columbia S.C. – famed Confederate engravers • Condition: Exceptionally well preserved for a 160+ year old bond. Crisp detail, strong borders, clean paper, minimal folds, and clear vignette of allegorical Liberty seated with maritime and agricultural symbols. This piece represents the financial backbone of the Confederate war effort. Surviving examples in this condition are highly collectible and rarely come to market at this caliber. It is more than paper—it’s a tangible artifact of the Civil War era, suitable for display in a private collection, gallery, or museum. Price: $500 (OBO) Secure a piece of American history today. This Confederate $500 bond is not only a conversation piece but also an investment in rare Civil War ephemera that continues to grow scarcer each year.
