| Opmerkingen |
Mississippi issued its own state currency in 1862 as the Confederate banking system fragmented and individual states scrambled to fill the void left by unreliable Confederate Treasury notes. The State of Mississippi issues were authorized by the legislature in Jackson and printed locally — a logistical necessity given wartime disruptions to established engraving firms in the North, now enemy territory, and the limited capacity of Southern printers.
Local printing meant cruder execution than pre-war bank issues. These notes are frequently encountered with uneven ink strike and rough cuts, which reflects production conditions rather than post-issue damage.
