Imprinted fractional note, with vignette of rooster and "25" at the center. July 1st, 1861. The Bank of the State of South Carolina with "25" at left center, and the Roman numerals "XXV" at right. Promise to pay the Bearer on demand, Twenty Five Cents. Signed in ink at the bottom. This is a necessity note as it was printed on the reverse of an old imprinted bond with vignettes and the number "175." Age toning and wear with some tiny edge chipping at the top. Interesting war date example of a Southern States necessity bank note printed on whatever paper was available to them at the time. As the war progressed this became a much bigger problem for the Southern States as President Lincoln's blockade would eventually have a devastating effect on the Confederacy.
