These banknotes were printed on low-quality paper because the Southern states were subjected to an extreme blockade during the war. The obverse bears the famous text stating that the note would only be payable "two years after the ratification of a peace treaty between the Confederate States and the United States of America"—a promise that could never be fulfilled due to the end of the war in 1865. A fascinating historical document!
