High quality, high EV (presented as a set). First issue of the
Confederate States of America dollar under the Act of March 9, 1861 (and amended August 3, 1861). Notes are printed on the front only.
I don't think so. The existing FP is a T-41 $100, different issue date (which could be seen as a variety), but this one is also a different design type.--

Support - As usual, FP material in every respect. Yes, interesting images -- never figured to see slaves on currency, not that they shouldn't be, I guess. I suppose such recognition could be considered both an insult or a compliment, depending. This is a $50 note also -- is this the reverse side of the $50 note depicting Washington?--

Support After hearing that strangely common "but it turned out to be worthless Confederate money!" plot device on television as a kid, after a while I remember thinking "But isn't that worth something for historic value?" - isn't it weird how tropes can stick on long past any reasonable expiration date?

These are objects in a Smithsonian collection. The notations are mostly accession numbers. Removing them would create an image that was not a true representation of the object (as the numbers are likely to never be removed from the originals).-
