Title | North Carolina fifty-dollar treasury note, 1862 |
Creator | North Carolina. Treasurer. |
Date | January 22, 1862 |
Description | Fifty-dollar treasury note issued by the State of North Carolina on January 22, 1862 |
Historical Notes | Two state officials or authorized personnel on their behalf were required to sign North Carolina treasury notes that bear face values of five dollars or more. Currencies valued under five dollars bear only a single autograph. Given this specimen’s high denomination, both the state’s comptroller, Curtis H. Brogden, and the state’s public treasurer, Daniel W. Courts, personally signed this note. Brogden served as comptroller from 1857 to 1867; and Courts, who began his service as treasurer in 1851, served in that office until the end of 1862, for about ten more months after he signed this note. On December 3, 1862, North Carolina’s legislature elected Jonathan Worth of Randolph County to succeed Courts as public treasurer. |
