(CR24) Hand dated 1 May 1862, this note features a farmer with sickle and wheat to the left, an Indian warrior with large bow and tomahawk standing at right and a crest with star, flags, cannons and cotton bales in blue at center. “Cotton Pledged” is written in blue across the top. This note is in circulated but very fine condition with one fray at the right. The Mississippi $2.50 note is considered quite scarce
