Confederate paper money was printed in many different designs and from many different sources, so it's not possible to assign a value without having it inspected in person by someone who's an expert in Confederate currency.
However, there's a good chance you have a copy rather than a genuine bill. Millions of replicas have been sold at gift shops around various Civil War sites and in memorabilia. Any made since 1973 will have the word COPY in small letters somewhere in the design.

Jefferson Davis was the president of the Confederacy. He was installed by the Confederate Congress as a preliminary move, later to a full term.
