1 Dollar

Hoyer & Ludwig were a Richmond lithographic firm pressed into currency production after the Confederacy's preferred Northern suppliers became inaccessible at the outbreak of war. Their output was lithographic rather than intaglio, which made Confederate notes far easier to counterfeit than federally-issued paper — a problem serious enough that the Richmond government received reports of Northern-produced fakes within months of circulation.

The $1 denomination was unusual for Confederate issues; most small-value paper was left to individual states and municipalities. By 1862, coin had nearly vanished from circulation in the South, forcing the central government into denominations it had initially avoided.
