Confederate Bond. $1,000.00 and $40.00 bonds signed by M. E. Bronaugh for
Register of the Treasury, March 2, 1863. Confederate bonds had a series of
interest notes attached. Each interest note could be cashed in at a C.S.A.
treasury on its maturity date, usually every six months from the original
date of issue. When all the interest notes had been redeemed, the bond itself
could be cashed in for its full face value.
