Whenever it appears to the Treasurer upon competent proof that any instrument has been lost or destroyed and the required security is deposited, he may issue or cause to be issued instruments similar as to form and content, except that they shall be signed and countersigned by the corresponding officials in office at the time the new instruments are issued. If the indebtedness evidenced by the instrument has matured and is due and payable, he may pay it if his records show the instrument is outstanding and unpaid.
