The obverse of $2 American Civil War Battle of Gettysburg Notes features a stunning depiction of the Gettysburg conflict. In an expansive colorized image, we see both Union and Confederate soldiers engaged in combat. On the left side, there is a portrait of the Union commander, General George Meade, and on the right, we see General Robert E. Lee. Inscriptions read The American Civil War, Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-3, 1863.

On the reverse side, there is a rendition of the oil painting Declaration of Independence. This image has been featured on the back side of $2 bills since 1976 and is inspired by John Trumbull’s 1818 masterpiece.

Prior to the Battle of Gettysburg, General Lee was feeling confident after his victory at the Battle of Chancellorsville. So, the general decided to go on the offensive and brought his troops to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where a 3-day battle with the Union army of the Potomac ensued. On the third day, Lee sent 15,000 troops to Cemetery Ridge in what is known as Pickett’s Charge. The Union delivered a devastating blow thanks to their artillery fire, and the next day Lee’s army departed from Gettysburg, signaling the beginning of the South’s decline.
