This colorful note was the last $10 note issued by the Confederacy. The front features a popular vignette of a stampeding horse-drawn artillery caisson alongside Confederate Cabinet member Robert M.T. Hunter. The back of the note displays its ten-dollar denomination in large, bold letters. The note has been hand-signed and features a date of February 17, 1864.  The number appears to be 31646 on either side of the vignette.  A slightly offset cut shows the bottom edge of the next bill on the original sheet and off-center graphics and text on front and back.

The reverse shows a blue geometric pattern with a bold “10” in each corner and bold font “TEN” in 3 places at center.  Stamped in red are the remnants of an 1888 political campaign for Commissioner of the Revenue of Richmond – doubtless a cost-effective and memorable way to repurpose a note with no monetary value. The stamping reads “Presented by CAPT. C. F. JOHNSTON, CANDIDATE FOR Commissioner of the Revenue, CITY OF RICHMOND, VA. Democratic Primary, April 19^th, 1888. He will be glad to have your Vote.”

The note measures 7” x 3.1” and shows very minor tearing and slight wear along the bottom edge.

A unique Confederate note with multiple layers of history.  [cm][ph:L]
