Description: The original 1862 “Virginia Treasury Note” – “One Dollar” note was engraved by “Hoyer & Ludwig. Richmond, VA.” and hand signed in brown ink. The serial number “58318” was also inscribed by hand. The bust in left corner is of Virginia Governor John Letcher. The note was issued out of Richmond, Virginia, and has a plain back. Original lead ammunition found on the Fredericksburg Battlefield near Fredericksburg, Virginia. The two ring Confederate .58 Gardner at left was made at the Richmond Arsenal in Virginia. The bullet at center is a .58 Federal issue made in the Northern arsenals. It hasn’t been fired; whether from the paper cartridge breaking or that it was possibly wet and discarded. The .58 caliber at right has been fired and is probably Federal. They all used a paper cartridge which has not survived in the ground. The white color or patina is due to oxidation in the ground. The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought December 11–15, 1862, in and around Fredericksburg, Virginia. The battle between the Federal “Army of the Potomac” commanded by Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside and the Confederate “Army of Northern Virginia” under General Robert E. Lee, included the Federal Army's futile frontal attacks on December 13 against entrenched Confederate defenders on Marye’s Heights behind the city. It is remembered as one of the most one-sided battles of the war, with Federal casualties more than twice as heavy as those suffered by the Confederates. They are mounted in an 8” x 12” Riker style case with glass front. The artifacts are just pressed in, we don’t glue them in. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original as stated.
