By April 1864, the Confederacy's financial system was unraveling. Georgia issued this $500 note payable in Confederate Treasury notes, reflecting the compounding currency crisis gripping the South. Milledgeville served as Georgia's capital until Sherman's March later that same year, making this note a direct artifact of the Confederacy's final chapter. The handwritten signatures of the Comptroller and Treasurer add authenticity and personal connection to the era.
