This bond has stampings generally not found on documents that had been held by bondholders in the Southern States. The stamping seen on the right front corner is not clear enough to make out. The stamp found on the back indicates that this document was in Amsterdam on August 15, 1865. The full significance of these stampings is not known, but are presumed to have been made by the bondholder. Both are shown in the photos.
