C.) $10, September 2, 1861. Francis Marion’s sweet potato dinner (center); Minerva (right); and Robert M.T. Hunter, the Secretary of State of the Confederacy (left). Marion was a Revolutionary War hero known as the Swamp Fox. According to legend, he shared his humble dinner with a British general, impressing the enemy with his willingness to fight on under difficult conditions. The T-30's were printed by Blanton Duncan in 1862 and into 1863. It was the last note bearing the September 2, 1861 date to be printed, continuing right into 1863. This note features a Vignette at the center portraying "General Francis Marion's Sweet Potato Dinner.". The Vignette to the right is Minerva, the Goddess of War. To the bottom left is a portrait of R.M.T. Hunter, the Confederate Secretary of State. After the Civil War broke out in 1861, the newly established Confederate government began to issue it's own money as legal tender to the citizens of the South. The gamble was that if the South won the war, the money would be redeemable. The 1st note from the Government of the Confederate States of America was issued in April of 1861. From then on, notes were issued on through 1864. Almost every Confederate note was painstakingly hand signed and numbered. It is not uncommon for these notes to have uneven, or rough borders since scissors or shears were used to hastily cut the sheets of notes apart.
