You are bidding on a Set of 6 Chemicograph Confederate Notes' Back printed by S. Striker & Sons London, England. These Chemicograph backs were intended for the 1864 issues of the $5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 denominations of the Confederate States of America currency issued during the Civil War. Back plates with these designs were ordered by the Confederate Treasury from S. Straker & Sons of London. The plates were made and shipped from London in early January 1864, only to disappear. Several more shipments were made, but none of these got through the Union blockade. Examples of the plates were found 75 years later and a number of prints were made from those plates before they were donated to the Smithsonian Institution. Please look closely at the scans as they are of the exact items that you will be receiving.
