University Changed My Grade Post Graduating

I graduated university with a first class degree and received the official certificate and transcript too from the university. A few months after graduating I received an email from the university saying that there was apparently a matching error in the grades of one of the modules which led to my degree being reclassified from a first to 2:1. To note, from the people I spoken to, it would seem everyone's marking of this module has dropped (though sample size not being significant).

This almost didn't surprise me since the level incompetence I have witnessed at this university with the marking of papers etc. and the general operations was remarkable. 

My question is, when looking for jobs and updating my CV, do I put a first or a 2:1? I have the official transcript for the first and the actual degree for the first
