| Comments |
No Confederate note of this denomination was ever actually issued for circulation. The $100,000 figure almost certainly places this among the large-format Confederate "bond" or treasury warrant instruments rather than currency proper — Keatinge & Ball, operating out of Columbia, South Carolina after relocating from Richmond, produced both currency and official financial paper for the Confederate Treasury in the war's later years.
Treat the denomination with caution when cataloging. Misidentification between circulating notes and non-negotiable treasury instruments is common in this series.
