| Reverse description | 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. |
