$2 Confederate Note T-70 (1864) – Last-year Print, Rare Historical Banknote

Highlight your collection with this scarce last-year $2 Confederate Note issued in 1864, featuring the accomplished and enigmatic Judah Benjamin on its face. As a lawyer, plantation owner, and the first Jewish U.S. senator, Benjamin played key roles for the Confederacy, serving as Attorney General, Secretary of War, and Secretary of State. His story reflects the tumultuous times of the Civil War, including his daring escape to England after its conclusion.

As Secretary of War, after a Confederate loss, he accepted a congressional censure rather than reveal the South didn't have any available reinforcements to send. When the Civil War ended, he spent his last few days, before escaping to England, burning personal correspondence and government documents.
