Engraved by Howell, Savannah, GA

S/N: “864,” plate J, no treasury seal

Signed by “Hines” (a bogus signature) for Comptroller General & with an illegible bogus signature for Treasurer.

VF. This note is a genuine remainder note that was fraudulently issued with bogus signatures, and without the Treasury seal that is supposed to appear on the face of the note. Martin & Latimer speculate (on page 13 of their work on Georgia treasury notes) that notes like this one were captured remainders that were fraudulently issued by Union troops.
