After contacting the manager of the New Orleans branch of the American Bank Note Company, a contract was made on May 13, 1861 for the production of $50 and $100 notes. They were completed on August 26, 1861. In the meantime, the name of the branch was changed to Southern Bank Note Company. These bills are usually counted as part of the First Issue, but in fact they came out after the Second Issue.
