| 备注 |
Alabama issued its own state treasury warrants alongside Confederate currency throughout the war, and by 1864 the financial position of both the state and the Confederacy was deteriorating badly. Rampant over-issue had driven inflation to the point where these notes were accepted with increasing reluctance in private trade, whatever their nominal legal-tender status under state law.
W. Keenan & Co. operated in Montgomery under wartime constraints — access to quality engraving materials and skilled labor was limited, and the watermarked paper itself was becoming harder to source as the Union blockade tightened. The watermark here is one of the few meaningful anti-counterfeiting measures the printer could reliably deploy by this stage of the conflict.
