Confederate States $10 Note, 1864
A poignant relic from the final year of the Confederacy, this 1864 ten-dollar banknote issued in Richmond, Virginia, carries the weight of a nation in turmoil. Encased in a protective sleeve, the note features:
Central vignette: A dramatic battle scene with cavalry in motion—evocative of Civil War urgency and valor.
Portrait: Lower right corner bears the likeness of R.M.T. Hunter, Confederate Secretary of State.
Denomination: Bold “10” numerals and vertical “TEN” script anchor the design.
Text: “Will pay TEN DOLLARS to bearer – Richmond, February 17th, 1864”
Design: Ornate flourishes and typographic elegance typical of Southern engravers.
Collector Notes: Confederate currency is prized not for its monetary value, but for its historical resonance. This note, issued just months before the Confederacy’s collapse, reflects both desperation and artistry. Ideal for Civil War collectors, numismatists, or those curating Americana ephemera.
Condition: Encased and visually intact. As with all vintage paper currency, expect signs of age. Sold as is.
