Georgia's state-issued currency from 1864 was a product of pure necessity — the Confederate central government's notes had depreciated so severely that individual states stepped in to provide functioning local exchange media. Howell & Brothers, a Columbus, Georgia printing firm, produced this and related Georgia state issues under difficult wartime conditions, with limited engraving resources evident in the relatively crude execution compared to earlier prewar Southern notes.
By the time this note circulated, gold had effectively vanished from Georgia commerce. Sherman's March to the Sea began that same year, and any state paper issued after mid-1864 had a functional lifespan measured in months.
