B. Duncan of Columbia, South Carolina, was one of several Southern printers pressed into Confederate currency production after Northern suppliers became inaccessible. Duncan's output for 1862 is generally distinguishable from Richmond-printed Confederate notes by subtler engraving quality — the plates were locally produced under considerable resource constraints, without access to the specialized steel-engraving infrastructure that pre-war American banknote firms had developed over decades.
The $2 denomination was always an oddity in Confederate finance. It saw limited public favor and was issued in relatively small quantities compared to the $5, $10, and $100 notes that dominated wartime circulation. Inflation rendered the entire 1862 series increasingly nominal within months of issue.
