The Confederate government issued bonds during the Civil War to raise money for the war effort. The bonds accounted for 32% of CSA revenues compared to 60% from printing currency. The bonds were issued as a way of taking some paper currency out of circulation. Early in the Civil War, these bonds seemed a worthwhile investment to the Southerners who bought them, but when the war ended and the government dissolved, the U.S. government refused to cover Confederate debts, making the bonds worthless as debt instruments or market securities.

This is a $1000 Confederate bond, Ball # 201, with an 8% interest rate issued on March 2nd, 1863. It is a unique historical artifact from the Civil War era, representing a significant piece of Confederate currency. This item is a must-have for any serious collector of Confederate paper money and coins. Don't miss out on this opportunity to add a rare piece of history to your collection.
