| Opmerkingen |
South Carolina was one of the few Confederate states to issue its own fractional paper currency directly through state authority rather than relying solely on Confederate Treasury notes or private scrip. The 1863 fractional issues emerged from a genuine small-change shortage — hard coin had vanished from circulation almost entirely by mid-war, hoarded or melted, and commerce below the one-dollar threshold had ground to a near halt.
State-printed fractionals of this period are frequently found with significant foxing and paper brittleness, a known condition issue tied to the low-grade domestic paper used once blockades cut off better stock.
