This 1862-1863 $100 Confederate Currency Note is a unique specimen that features not only an Uncirculated grade from the Paper Money Guaranty (PMG), but also includes interest paid stamps on the reverse. Right now, 1862-1863 $100 Confederate Currency Notes are available from JM Bullion.
Note Highlights:
Each 1862-1863 $100 Confederate Currency Note available here is an Uncirculated specimen with no folds or creases that was never released into general circulation. Interestingly, the note bears two interest-paid stamps on the reverse side, both originating from Augusta, Georgia on January 1st. This note’s annual interest of 7.3% was paid out on January 1, 1864, and again on January 1, 1865. The signatures present on the note’s reverse indicate the individuals from either the Confederate civil depository, tax collector, or military quartermaster who paid out the interest and logged the transaction.
The $100 Confederate notes issued during the 1862 and 1863 series were produced during the middle years of the Civil War, when the Confederate monetary system was already experiencing considerable inflation but had not yet reached the severe financial conditions that characterized the conflict’s final year. Their production involved different printing firms as the Confederate government adapted to changing wartime circumstances and increasingly limited access to outside engraving, printing, and supply resources as the Union blockade tightened. These higher-denomination notes helped address the Confederate economy’s need for large-value financial instruments capable of supporting government expenditures, military procurement, commercial transactions, and other substantial payments.
This distinctive 1862-1863 $100 Confederate Currency Note, produced by Keatinge & Ball of Columbia, South Carolina, and dated November 27, 1862, features a central vignette depicting enslaved laborers harvesting cotton in a field. The imagery directly reflects the central role that slavery and cotton production played in the economy of the Confederate states and provides important historical context for understanding the society that issued and used this currency. A portrait of John C. Calhoun appears at the lower left. The South Carolina statesman was a prominent defender of slavery and states’ rights whose political arguments influenced later advocates of Southern secession.
