Georgia's wartime treasury notes were printed across multiple contractors as the Confederacy's supply chains fractured — Douglas Engraver in New Orleans was one of the earlier options, and by mid-1862 access to that press was already becoming unreliable as Union forces tightened their grip on the lower Mississippi. Notes from this printer and this period were issued in large volumes to fund state obligations, not Confederate ones; Georgia maintained its own parallel issuance throughout the war, a point that confuses attribution to this day.
The red underprint was an anti-counterfeiting measure, though it proved only modestly effective against the wave of spurious notes that circulated alongside legitimate issues in 1862 and 1863.
