Due to widespread hoarding of coins during the Civil War era, Congress authorized the printing of fractional currency notes (with values less than a dollar) from 1862-1876. This historic note is from the 1869-1875 Fourth Issue of fractional currency, the only issue to include 15¢ notes, and the first fractional notes to carry the Treasury Seal. Depicting the goddess Columbia, the short-lived 15¢ fractional currency note is especially hard to find and in great demand among collectors.
