Opmerkingen

Keatinge & Ball, operating out of Columbia, South Carolina, were among the few Confederate-aligned engravers capable of producing government-quality currency during the war years. Florida contracted with them directly — the state issued its own notes independently of Confederate Treasury policy, driven partly by a chronic shortage of small-denomination coin that made even a single dollar's worth of change a practical impossibility by 1863.

John Milton, whose signature appears here as governor, was a committed secessionist who took his own life in April 1865 days before the Confederacy's final collapse. He never saw the state's paper money redeemed.
