Confederate States of America - T17 1861 $20 PF-5, Cr. 100. PCGS Very Fine 25. The T17 $20 note was the first issued from the September 2, 1861-dated notes authorized by the Act of August 19, 1861. Lithographed by Hoyer & Ludwig, Richmond VA. The vignettes are adaptations from the Danforth, Wright & Co. engraved notes, a common practice by the printer. In a cartouche formed by the title, Ceres is flanked by Commerce, at left and Navigation, at right. Liberty, standing at the left, wears the pileus and carries a capped liberty pole. An especially ornate green tint crosses the note and \"20\" and TWENTY protectors are outlined within at the bottom. This is a rare variety printed from an error plate. The engraved \"for\" was left off the plate twice, and to issue the notes required the \"for\" to be written before \"register\" and \"treasur.\" Plate A. Serial number 32674. Well margined on three sides, but trimmed in slightly at the right. Bright green color enhances the eye appeal. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society\n\n
