It is just that, a confederate war bond. I know that confederate currency was counterfeited on a massive scale. I do not think that the war bonds were so you may have the genuine article there.

I lke how you can see how it was attached to another bond because it isn't cut perfectly straight. SO you can see just the top of the CS on the next bond as well.
