Additional Description: These one and three dollar notes from the State of North Carolina date to the closing years of the Civil War era, when states issued their own paper to steady local commerce. Likely printed around 1866, they carry the visual language of mid nineteenth century engraving, combining regional motifs with the practical need for reliable small change.
Viewed together, they offer a concise picture of a state working to restore its financial footing after years of conflict. Their modest scale and period craftsmanship provide a direct link to daily transactions in North Carolina during a challenging moment of transition.
