2025 Dallas Fort Worth 1 Aurum Note $130
This 2025 Dallas Fort Worth 1 Aurum Note represents a unique fusion of precious metal investment and regional pride, containing exactly 1/1000th troy ounce of 24-karat gold. The note features a stunning high-resolution design that showcases the iconic skylines of Dallas and Fort Worth, bridged by artistic depictions of the region's heritage, including the famous longhorns of the Fort Worth Stockyards and the Reunion Tower. Utilizing advanced proprietary technology "Powered by Goldback," the pure gold is vacuum-deposited between layers of protective polymer, resulting in a durable, flexible, and visually striking bill that carries a distinct metallic luster. This specific 2025 issue is part of a series intended for collectors and those interested in alternative currencies, marked with a unique serial number for authenticity. While not legal tender, these Aurum notes are highly sought after for their fractional gold content and intricate "Y'all Street" thematic artwork, making them an excellent gift or a specialized addition to any precious metals portfolio.
