Two-sided $1,000 fake currency, which measures approximately 3 ½" x 7 ½", is covered with satirical comments about the worthlessness of paper currency, with a portion of the text reading "All Who Desire a Change Can Vote for B. F. Butler, Who Has Already Changed from Soft to Hard Money, and Back Again, and Whose Election Would CHANGE HIM FROM A CONGRESSMAN INTO A GOVERNOR." Prior to General Benjamin Butler's Presidential run on the Greenback and Anti-Monopoly Party ticket, he ran for Governor of Massachusetts on the Greenback Party ticket as well, a race that he lost.
