Confederate States of America bonds were first printed on February 28, 1861 to help finance the Civil War effort for the Confederacy. CSA bonds were printed until 1865 when the end of the Civil War put an end to the Confederacy and the need for bonds. There were more than 150 different types of CSA bonds printed during the Civil War.

Genuine Confederate States of America Civil War bonds are the most decorative artifacts of the Confederacy on the market. Nothing else even comes close.
We have been one of the largest dealers in CSA bonds ever with many thousands sold. However, like any good book we are nearing the end with less than 200 left. However, there are 150 or so different CSA bonds, so we saved the best for last.
These only survived because Europeans assumed that once the Confederacy was defeated the Union would make good on their debt but they were wrong. If you backed the CSA as a number of European countries did, you were just out the money.
Still, many hoped that this would change some day and something on the order of 70,000 CSA bonds were stored in a bank vault in England. Unfortunately thousands were lost to water damage caused by a flood.
