Paterson & Co., with the issue date and treasury authorization inscribed across the face. |

| Opmerkingen |
North Carolina turned to J.T. Paterson & Co. in Augusta because the blockade had severed access to Northern printers — Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson among them — who had handled antebellum Southern state work. Paterson was one of a handful of Confederate-era firms that expanded rapidly to fill that vacuum, taking on government and state contracts across multiple seceding states simultaneously.
The fractional denomination reflects a specific problem: coin hoarding accelerated so quickly after secession that small-change transactions became genuinely difficult by mid-1862. State-issued fractional notes were a stopgap, not a financial strategy.
