| Opmerkingen |
North Carolina's fractional currency problem in 1861 was immediate and practical: coin vanished from circulation almost the moment secession was declared, hoarded by a public that understood silver's value better than they trusted any new political order. The state responded with a fast run of small-denomination notes, this being among the smallest — more a scrip token than a banknote in any traditional sense.
J. Spelman held the Public Printer contract in Raleigh and produced these under state authority, not a banking institution. Production was local and expedient, and the crude engraving reflects that urgency.
