T-12 $5 Richmond
Grade: Fine

July 25, 1861. The first Confederate note with a back design. Simplistic design printed by Jules Manouvrier of New Orleans. Back printing executed in light blue ink with 'Confederate States of America' at the center and denomination, expressed in Roman numbers at the corners. Due to the simplicity of the design, Manouvrier's work was not well received by the Confederate authorities and he was not given any further contracts. One of the rarer Confederate notes as only 15,556 pieces were issued during the war. Some soiling present, with several stains visible.
