T-38. 1861 $2 Confederate Currency. PMG Choice Fine 15.

While this is the first $2 note printed for the Confederacy, it is also an error note, as it SHOULD have been dated June 2, 1842, as the printer believed it to be part of the 1861 issue of notes. The date was then corrected by the printer, which would become T-42. At upper left is Judah Benjamin, who served as Attorney General, Secretary of War, and Secretary of State of the Confederacy, after already serving as a Louisiana Senator to the United States Congress. The central vignette depicts the South striking down the Union. PMG notes minor rust and previously mounted on the back of their holder.
