 State of Florida. $100.00. B. Tallahassee, Fla. 'Jan. 1, 1865'. No imprint, printed on the backs of 1864 $1.00 and $2.00 notes (at the center of the sheet). Steamship at the top center, as used on the $50.00, over the title. At the left is obligation 'RECEIVABLE BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA IN PAYMENT OF ALL DUES AND DEMANDS.' At the right 'PUBLIC LANDS OF THE STATE PLEDGED'. Criswell 43. Fully signed and issued. No.81. Another rare issue that was the last Florida series in the Civil War. In Smythe's Samuel Roakes Collection Sale in June, 2000, Doug Ball estimated ten to fifteen known of this type. We believe that number is also closer to twenty or so. Sharply printed with broad margins. There are some ink specks at the back left end and they show through. However, still Choice Crisp Uncirculated.
