Dallas Fort Worth 1/1000 Gold Aurum $130
This Dallas Fort Worth commemorative bill is a unique collectible featuring 1/1000th Troy Ounce of .999 pure 24K gold, manufactured using the proprietary Aurum process by Valaurum and powered by Goldback technology. The design showcases the iconic Dallas skyline, including Reunion Tower, set against a backdrop of longhorn cattle to represent the heritage of Fort Worth, with a humorous "Y'all Street" sign replacing the traditional Wall Street motif. As a 2025 series note, it utilizes advanced thin-film deposition to sandwich a precise layer of physical gold between layers of durable polyester, ensuring the precious metal is both visible and protected. While this note is valued for its gold content and artistic representation of Texas culture, it is important to note that it is a voluntary local currency or bullion product and not official US legal tender. Each bill includes a unique serial number, in this case AE29984, which serves as a security feature for authentication and tracking within the numismatic community.
Condition: The item appears to be in brilliant uncirculated, original condition with sharp corners and a clean surface free of visible wrinkles, tears, or significant abrasions. This item is produced by Valaurum in collaboration with Goldback Inc. under the Aurum brand. The metal content is 24-karat gold, specifically 1/1000th troy ounce of .999 fine gold. The historical context relates to the modern movement of voluntary local currencies and "specie" legal tender, featuring the Dallas-Fort Worth skyline and Texas-themed iconography. The strike type is a proprietary vacuum deposition process where thin layers of gold are atomized and bonded between protective polyester layers, rather than a traditional minted coin strike. There is no third-party grading known for this specific piece.
