<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kSigSteve, post: 3736586, member: 72008&quot;]Thank you all for the kind comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is some more information about the $500 note.</p><p><br /></p><p>The $500 note is the only Confederate note to bear the CSA flag. It is the second flag of the Confederacy and also named the “stainless banner.”</p><p><br /></p><p>The $500 note is also the first and only note that bears the seal of the Confederacy. The motto “Deo Vindice” translates from Latin to “(With) God (as) our defender/protector.” Interestingly enough in the same year was also the “Coinage Act of 1864” which added the motto “In God We Trust” to the 2 cent coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>General “Stonewall” Jackson depicted in the lower right was honored on this note after passing from pneumonia 8 days after being shot in his right arm by his own men at the Battle of Chancellorsville. His arm was amputated and is buried 100 miles from where his body is buried in Lexington. Famous quote by Robert E. Lee after hearing of his injury “ He has lost his left arm but I have lost my right.”</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is also worth mentioning the total set face value of $688.50 would be approximately $11,250 today accounting for inflation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
