Title | North Carolina one-hundred-dollar treasury note, 1862 |
Creator | North Carolina. Treasurer. |
Date | January 6, 1862 |
Description | One-hundred-dollar treasury note issued by the State of North Carolina on January 6, 1862 |
Historical Notes | This is the highest denomination of currency circulated by the State of North Carolina during the Civil War. Like other treasury notes with face values of five dollars or more, this note carries two signatures, but they are positioned in a very unusual manner. On nearly all paper money signed by two people during this era, their names are written adjacently near a note’s bottom edge. On this note the signature line for the public treasurer is in keeping with that traditional two-signature format. However, due to the many elements on this note and to the size and placement of the female figure in its bottom-right corner, the signature line for the state comptroller had to be shifted. Oriented vertically, that line is placed rather awkwardly toward the note’s left end. |
