State of Mississippi. Jackson. $20. Dated Jan. 24, 1862. Due June 1, 1864. Cr.3Ac. No.3620. Plate A. Intense orange underprint. Field hand drives cotton wagon. Girl with dove. Portrait of Colonel M. D. Haynes, State treasurer, signer. Printed by American Bank Note Co., NY and NO. These were interest bearing notes and paid a very generous rate of ten per cent. This caused the State to call and retire them in 1863. Four full margins. VF-EF. Miniscule ink notations on two of the back corners, and a small paper lump in the State treasurer´s portrait, perhaps as made. These details are mentioned only for the sake of accuracy, and in no way do they reduce the great eye appeal this scarce example exhibits.
