A red Confederate Treasury Department stamp is found in the top right corner. This note was printed with pink and black ink. There is no design on the back.

The T-64 1864 $500 confederate money features Stonewall Jackson and as such is the only confederate general to appear on the bills of the southern confederacy. The notes were produced in Richmond Virginia during the later part of the confederacy in 1864. This confederate money comes in either a red or pink background. The darkness of the notes depended on how much ink the printers, Keatinge and Ball had available. There were not that many of these bills produced, around 169,000. Wonderful condition example.
