1861 State of North Carolina $1 Obsolete Civil War Currency
A genuine piece of Confederate history from the early days of the Civil War! This is an original State of North Carolina $1 note, issued in Raleigh around October 1861. It features the goddess Minerva standing at the left (symbolizing wisdom and war). A key feature of this note is the striking Red "ONE DOLLAR" overprint across the center, a security and identification measure that makes this variety stand out in any collection. The text promises payment "on or before Jan'y 1st, 1866," a common clause in Confederate state currency hoping for a Southern victory by that date.

Issuer: State of North Carolina (Raleigh) Date: October 1861 (Issued); Due Jan 1, 1866 Denomination: $1 (One Dollar) Vignette: Minerva standing at left Variety: Red "ONE DOLLAR" Overprint Condition: Circulated. The note shows authentic wear, including folding, edge roughness, and age-related toning, but the red overprint remains vivid and legible.
