Keatinge & Ball relocated from Richmond to Columbia, South Carolina in late 1862 after Union pressure on the Confederate capital made continued operations there untenable. The firm printed the bulk of late-war Confederate currency from Columbia until Sherman's forces burned the city in February 1865, destroying much of the remaining stock and the printing equipment with it.
This is a reproduction. The "Richmond" designation on the original referred to the place of payment — the Confederate Treasury office — not the press location, a distinction that trips up collectors routinely.
