Confederate States of America: T-68 1864 $10

Cuhaj, George S. (2012-11-30). Confederate States Paper Money: Civil War Currency from the South

Obverse: Field artillery. Bust of R. M. T. Hunter, Confederate cabinet member, at lower right. Pink and black.
Reverse: Blue web reverse with denomination. Plain paper.

This is the most commonly available Confederate note today. Issued in Series 1 to 10 and without series. Over 120 plate letter varieties (A to H) plus many insignificant differences in plate letters. 9,135,920 notes (incomplete data). The design is said to represent Braxton Bragg's artillery at the Battle of Buena Vista in 1847 during the War with Mexico. If correct, it is apparently based on a portion of a contemporary painting by Carl Nebel, except from a different angle. Bragg became a Confederate general during the Civil War.
