5 Dollars State of Louisiana

正面描述	Printed in black, the obverse carries a central allegorical vignette of the Confederacy striking down the Union, flanked by a ornate lazy 5 numeral. A bearded male figure with a water jug appears at the lower right, rendered in the engraved style typical of mid-19th century American bank note production. The note bears manuscript or printed authorization lines for the Auditor and Treasurer, with the place of issue given as Baton Rouge.

备注	Louisiana was one of the few Confederate states to maintain its own parallel paper currency during the war, distinct from both Confederate Treasury notes and local bank emissions. This state-issued dollar, authorized under the wartime fiscal measures of 1862, was printed locally — a reflection of the near-total breakdown in access to Northern printing houses after secession cut off relationships with firms like American Bank Note Company in New York. Local printing meant variable quality. Counterfeiting of Louisiana state issues was reported as early as mid-1862, and the notes depreciated rapidly as Union forces tightened control of the Mississippi.
