$5. T-12. Cr.48. No.1129. PF-1. Plate H. Confederate States of America in blue on the back. This is the only 1861 issue with a printed back. It is commonly referred to as the "Manouvrier" note, so named after the printer J. Manouvrier in New Orleans. The design was thought to be simple and Manouvrier´s shipment of notes did note arrive in good order. A total of 15,556 of the $5 were issued but the package containing the $10 notes was broken into and Treasury officials apparently destroyed them all. This $5 has a nice clean look and decent margins, can easily be called a Fine. Estimate US$ 3,000-5,000
