| Obverse description | At left, a vignette portrait of Pushmataha (c. 1764–1824), Choctaw chief and brigadier general, with the Mississippi State Capitol in Jackson rendered as a central vignette. The seal of Mississippi appears alongside the state motto 'Virtute et Armis,' and an eagle hologram element is incorporated into the design. Inscriptions confirm the non-legal-tender status of this commemorative fantasy note, with the denomination and series designation printed in period-style typography. |

This note has nothing to do with the State of Mississippi issuing its own currency — Mississippi, like all U.S. states, has had no such authority since the Civil War era. The name here refers to a Federal Reserve Note issued through the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, which services the Eighth District and carries "State of Mississippi" designations on certain serial-numbered examples tied to district branch accounting — a classification system invisible to most collectors but meaningful to district specialists.
The 2022 series continues the redesigned $100 format introduced in 2013, which took over a decade to finalize after catastrophic printing defects — most notoriously the 2010 "mashed potato" creasing error — delayed its release by nearly three years.
