T-12. 1861 $5 Confederate Currency. PMG Choice Fine 15.

The first, and only, note issued during 1861 to have a printed back. Simply called a “Manouvrier”, due to the New Orleans based printer’s last name, this was actually one of two denominations that were printed for use, both using this design type. Upon arrival in Richmond, officials noticed that the $10 packages had been broken into, so officials destroyed every $10 note, and did not order further notes from Manouvrier after this. The present example is devoid of any issue, with the vast majority of notes at this grade level having some sort of problem, whether a repair or tear – not so with this note that simply has aged from circulation. Also note this is the only Confederate note to have “Confederate States of America” printed on the back.
