I really do not think that is a Confederate Bond mdp..... Bonds were large fancy sheets of paper, usually around 14" wide and, (depending on 'if the coupons are still attached to the bond) may be that long, but shorter if coupons have been removed.
I believe that what you have there is a certificate issued to the bearer as interest paid on a $500 bond...... This is a voucher, a government check, a chip to be cashed in at a bank.... (not a bond).
I don't know anything about authenticity, value, popularity, rarity, etc, of such a thing..... very neat item mdp..
