Comments

North Carolina's 1862 state emissions were produced locally under considerable constraint — by that point in the war, access to quality paper and experienced engravers had become genuinely difficult, and the state treasury was printing notes largely to cover immediate military and administrative expenditure rather than to sustain any conventional banking function. The Raleigh printing operations during this period are associated with multiple printers working under state contract, and the typography and plate quality vary noticeably across denominations and dates.

This is a replica. Collector value is nominal; the interest here is documentary.
