| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central vignette presents a pastoral scene with farm animals — horses, sheep, and goats — gathered around a manger, flanked on both sides by allegorical figures in classical style. A distinctive green circular underprint, serving as an anti-counterfeiting device, is positioned near the date and partially overlaps the central vignette. The denomination and issuing authority are rendered in letterpress above and below the vignette, with manuscript signatures and registration notations completing the face. |

| Opmerkingen |
By 1864, Confederate state governments were printing currency in quantities that bore no relationship to any meaningful backing. Georgia's issues from this period came out of Augusta rather than the capital, reflecting both the disruption of war and the consolidation of what little printing capacity the Confederacy still controlled. J.T. Paterson & Co. operated as one of the few functional commercial printers still producing negotiable paper in the Deep South at this stage of the conflict.
The "Howell" engraver credit almost certainly refers to Evan P. Howell, who worked in Augusta during the war years. The anti-counterfeiting mark was a largely symbolic gesture by 1864 — inflation had made the notes nearly worthless before forgery became a practical concern.
