Original State of Missouri $20 bank note. The 1862 State of Missouri bill is a Civil War-era obsolete bank note issued out of Jefferson City and dated January 1, 1862. The note features two female figures, a small sailing ship, and a dog’s head vignette. Signed and serial numbered in ink (19872). Signature on left side is that of Claiborne Fox Jackson. Back of note is blank.

Jackson was sworn in as Missouri’s 15th governor on January 3, 1861. A state convention was called in 1861 to decide whether Missouri would secede or remain in the Union. Jackson aligned himself with the pro-Southern majority and believed that the state convention would vote for secession. Instead, they vacated the offices of governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and the assembly, and appointed Hamilton Rowan Gamble as the provisional (Union) governor. Jackson became the unofficial Confederate governor. He died in December of 1862 of stomach cancer.

Condition is very nice with only a couple of pin holes, no folds or wrinkles. Watermark lines through paper. [jet][ph:L]
