The Traders Bank of Virginia was chartered in Richmond and operated through the Civil War period, which means notes issued toward the end of this date range circulated in increasingly desperate conditions — Confederate inflation was eroding confidence in all Virginia bank paper by 1863, and many state-chartered banks struggled to maintain specie backing as the war dragged on.
The American Bank Note Company's New York origin is worth pausing on. By the time secession was underway, Southern banks holding pre-war stocks of ABNC-printed notes were simply using what they had — no new engraving was being done in New York for Confederate-state institutions after 1861.
