| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is engraved in black on cream paper and presents a horizontal format divided into distinct vignette panels. At left, a classical allegorical female figure stands draped in robes holding flowers, flanked by the word TEN at the lower border; at upper right, a second allegorical female bust appears within a circular frame, with a large numeral 10 below her. The central composition is dominated by three circular guilloche medallions: the two outer ones bearing the numeral 10, while the central one encloses a scenic rural vignette of a waterway with figures and a classical structure. The bold letterpress legend THE STATE OF GEORGIA and TEN DOLLARS occupies the lower central field, accompanied by a manuscript date of February 1st, 1863, two manuscript signatures, a red REGISTERED stamp, and a printed attribution to Howell, Savannah. |

Georgia financed much of its Confederate-era operations through a parallel state treasury apparatus, issuing notes independently of Richmond. This note came from Howell in Savannah — a local print shop pressed into service as demand for circulating paper far outstripped what the Confederate Bureau of Engraving could supply. The quality differential between Richmond-produced notes and locally printed Georgia state issues is marked; Howell lacked the engraving infrastructure to produce finely intaglio-worked currency.
By 1863 inflation was already eroding confidence in all Southern paper, state and Confederate alike. The registry stamp was the primary anti-counterfeiting measure — a low bar, but counterfeiting of Georgian state notes was nonetheless documented during the war years.
