Description
T11 $5 1861 PF-4 Cr. 44 PMG Very Fine 25.A total of 73,355 examples of this type were emitted by the Confederate Treasury during the period of July 29 through September 7, 1861. While similar in appearance to the Hoyer & Ludwig lithographed T10 $10, save for a few differences, the T11 $5, also lithographed by the same firm, is much scarcer. At left is a vignette of a sailor leaning on a capstan, a depiction which would again appear on the 1861 T18 $20 note, and at center, Liberty leans on a shield with an eagle nearby. Variations of this illustration were also featured on the 1861 T10 and T27 $10s. Both the T18 and T27 were also lithographed by Hoyer & Ludwig, so evidently, the firm had a penchant for reusing vignettes on their other productions. The design on the $5 offered here is completed by differing "5" die counters at upper left and lower right as well as a "V" die counter at upper right. Well printed and signed on thick bond paper with full inner and nearly full outer frame lines, this note is a pleasing representative of a tougher type. PMG comments that the note has been repaired in several places, a common occurrence for T11s. In April 2025, we auctioned another PMG VF 25 encapsulated T11 which bore the same comment on its back label. That note brought $2,280.
Estimate: $2,000 - up.
