Comments: According to "Confederate States of America Paper Money", by Grover C. Criswell, "The type 31 was the last of the 1861 notes printed by the American Bank Note Company office in New Orleans, but ostensibly by the Southern Bank Note Company, New Orleans." This original Confederate five dollar note will be an excellent addition to any Civil War note or general relic collection.
