Florida's wartime treasury notes were a product of desperate improvisation. With Confederate supply lines strained and Northern blockades cutting off access to established printers, the state fell back on local production — hence the Tallahassee imprint, unusual for a currency issue of any ambition. The results were predictably crude by the standards of contemporary Eastern engravers.
John Milton, Florida's governor from 1861 until his suicide on April 1, 1865 — one day before Confederate Tallahassee fell — signed these notes in office. That biographical endpoint gives the 1864 issues a particular historical edge among collectors of Southern state paper.
