| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse carries printed fragments of three separate fractional currency tickets issued by the same bank: a 10-cent, a 25-cent, and a 50-cent denomination, each dated January 1, 1863 and redeemable in Confederate Treasury Notes when presented in aggregate sums of five dollars. This arrangement reflects the common Civil War-era practice of printing multiple small-denomination scrip tickets on a single sheet, with portions of adjacent tickets visible on each cut note. |

The Bank of Augusta was one of several Georgia state-chartered banks that continued issuing notes under the Confederate monetary framework after federal currency was effectively locked out of the South. By 1863, Confederate Treasury notes had already begun inflating sharply, and local bank issues like this one were tolerated — sometimes preferred — in regional commerce precisely because they carried the implicit backing of known local assets rather than a government increasingly stretched by war finance.
The $4 denomination is the tell. Southern printers leaned on odd denominations to make change against Confederate 5s, a small but telling sign of how fractured daily commerce had become by mid-war.
