| Opmerkingen |
Keating & Ball — originally a jewelry and watchmaking firm — pivoted to banknote printing out of wartime necessity after the Union blockade severed the Confederacy's access to Northern and European printers. Their Columbia, South Carolina operation produced substantial quantities of late-war Confederate currency, but the quality was uneven; paper supply was chronically inconsistent, and ink formulations changed as materials grew scarce.
P#51 appears across a wide date range, and serial number and signature combinations are the primary means of narrowing issue timing. Columbia itself was burned in February 1865 during Sherman's march, destroying much of Keating & Ball's plant along with unissued stock.
