备注	The Bank of Philippi was chartered in Barbour County, Virginia — now West Virginia, which separated from the Confederacy-aligned state in 1863. Notes issued in 1861 therefore occupy an awkward transitional moment: printed before secession reshaped the region's political identity, they circulated under a Virginia charter that would soon be legally contested by the new state government claiming jurisdiction over the same territory. Wellstood, Hay & Whiting operated out of New York, meaning this Virginia bank note was engraved and printed in the North shortly before that relationship became impossible.
