Tallahassee, Florida, State of Florida, $3, Jan. 1, 1864, serial 2100, plate J, Governor John Milton signature, PMG AU 55. Cr-FL-37. Variety printed on W.T. & Co. watermarked paper. A nice, lightly handled example of Civil War era Florida currency and an unusual $3 denomination at that with only minor stains on the back noted. Signed by John Milton, Governor of Florida from 1861 to 1865. A vocal secessionist, he supported the Confederate cause so strongly that he claimed "death would be preferable to reunion with them [the Yankees]." On April 1, 1865, in the closing days of the Civil War, he committed suicide by gunshot to the head.
