Our top choice for most interesting note from the Confederate States of America is this lightly circulated $50 note from the second confederate series, printed in 1861. The central image depicts two women sitting on what appears to be a bale of cotton, with an industrial building in the background. Interestingly, it also features an image of George Washington in the bottom right corner, a founder of the United States the confederates rebelled against.
This is a scarce denomination and type, of which just 5798 were issued. It was printed in New Orleans by a branch of the northern American Bank Note Company, which would soon cease printing notes for the confederacy. This particular note features a manuscript endorsement by Captain Edward A. Palfrey, A.C.S. dated September 27, 1861.
