 State of Georgia Treasury Department. $20,000.00. Milledgeville. Sept. 2, '186'4. 6% Interest note redeemable in bonds. Howell, S.C. Red protector '$20,000' across the bottom center. Textual obligations across the center and under the protector. At the top is the title and to the right is the city and date. At the left is a panel with 'TREASURY CERTIFICATE', the serial number above and at the bottom '20,000'. Criswell 30E; unpriced and designated as Extremely Rare. Fully signed and issued. Serial No.6. Like the $10,000.00 note of this series, the total known census must be low and on the order of ten or less. Not only is this a significant Southern States issued note, but an important engraved denomination type. Some obsolete bank note collectors consider this very collectible with their denomination type sets and this is the only $20,000.00 engraved type we are aware of. As such it is a key to a comprehensive set of obsolete denominations. Like the last, a high grade example with some very light folds. The right end is trimmed in slightly, but overall this note is very sharp and probably among the finest of the type. Close to Extremely Fine.
