When I was a young boy, I accompanied my father to a coin shop & remember the Confederate paper money on display in one of the cases. This weekend I saw something I have never seen -- a $500 Confederate bond. The document, dated 2 March 1863, is signed in ink by the Register of the Treasury, someone with the surname of Rose. There is a picture, located top middle, of someone, who I believe, may be Confederate Secretary of Treasury Memminger. But I may be wrong. Written on the bond is the following information: " ... the Sum of $500 with interest theron from date, at the rate of eight per cent per annum, payable semi-annually by the surrender of the annexed coupons." The bond/loan was to mature 1 July 1868. Can anyone tell me anything else about this bond? Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com

Hi Mike, One website you might be interested in is the C.S.A. Bond Page. It can give you descriptions of bonds and other information, including denominations, etc. http://www.csacurrency.com/csabond/ Hope this might be of some help to you. Edward
