This is a scarce original Civil War savings bond from the state of Arkansas. This is the style that was done in 1861 for the sum of $20. It has red and black ink that gives it a great colorful look. The center of the main section has the ornate red printing that reads "STATE OF ARKANSAS". It is correctly hand signed and numbered in ink. The main bond as well as the interest coupons below is all serial numbered 79,305. It still retains all of the original interest coupons attached at the bottom. The overall size of the bond measures 8 inches by 3-1/2 inches. It has some paper losses along the edges and it is priced accordingly. This is a neat piece from the state of Arkansas from the Civil War Confederacy.
