Alabama issued fractional currency in 1863 partly because small Federal coins had completely vanished from circulation — hoarded the moment war disrupted normal commerce. States, counties, and even individual businesses stepped in to fill the gap, and Alabama's treasury notes were among the more formally organized attempts to do so.
J.T. Paterson & Co. operated out of Montgomery and handled much of the Confederacy-adjacent printing work coming through Alabama during this period. The notes were redeemable in Confederate currency, which by 1863 was itself depreciating rapidly — a detail that made even newly issued fractional notes questionable tender.
