1861 Confederate States of America $4 Bond Coupon

Year: 1861
Country: Confederate States of America
Type: Bond Interest Coupon
Denomination: $4

An original Confederate States of America $4 bond interest coupon, issued under the Loan of August 19, 1861 during the early years of the American Civil War.

These coupons were originally attached to Confederate government bonds and represented interest payments due to bondholders. Once detached, they could be redeemed separately from the bond. Following the end of the Civil War in 1865, Confederate financial securities became void, but today they remain sought-after historical artefacts and are collected as part of the field of scripophily.

This example bears an original handwritten signature and serial number, adding to its authenticity and historical appeal.
