There are only 20 that were ever made so chances are yours is a fake. If it is real, it would be worth over 120,000 dollars. It is best to take this to a coin appraiser as their are many imitations.

It is almost certainly fake. The Confederacy did take over the former US Mint branch in New Orleans, and did strike a very few half dollars and one cent pieces in 1861. This was all the coinage produced by the Confederacy, and the very, very few surviving examples are extremely scarce and very valuable. Both the Confederate half dollar and penny have been extensively reproduced, and you almost certainly have one of this very numerous replicas.

The odds are that any Confederate half dollar you run across will be a fake or reproduction. An experienced coin dealer may be able to tell you that it is definitely a fake, but I would not take his word that it is definitely genuine. If a dealer thinks it is an original, you should submit it to one of the third-party grading and authentication services.
