Superb condition State of North Carolina Fifty Cents “By Authority of the Law,” Jany 1, 1863, created by J.T. Patterson of Augusta, GA.

The Confederate government lacked the metal reserves to strike coinage. From the outset of the conflict, the Confederacy and its states were forced to rely on an array of paper currencies to run the South’s economy and to finance its battle against the North.  The Confederacy issued at least seventy different types of notes, amounting to nearly two billion dollars.

In excellent condition.
