Dallas Fort Worth 1/1000 Troy Oz 24K Gold Note
The Dallas-Fort Worth 1/1000 Troy Ounce 24K Gold Note is a unique piece of fractional bullion produced using advanced vacuum deposition technology. This note contains 1/1000th of an ounce of .999 fine gold layered between thin, protective polyester sheets, creating a durable and flexible currency-like format. The design features a stunning tribute to Texas heritage, showcasing the iconic Dallas skyline including Reunion Tower, alongside the historic Fort Worth Stockyards with longhorn cattle and riders. Distinctive inscriptions include "DALLAS FORT WORTH Texas," "1/1000th Troy Ounce 24K Gold," and the year "2023." While these notes are designed for use as a local voluntary currency and are powered by the Goldback network, they are strictly classified as private commemorative gold foil notes and are not legal tender issued by the United States government. This specific item, often referred to as a "Goldback" variant, is popular among collectors for its intricate artwork, anti-counterfeiting security features, and its accessibility as an affordable entry point for physical gold ownership.
Condition: The item appears to be in uncirculated condition, showing crisp edges and no visible folds or creases, though it is currently housed in a protective sleeve with a handwritten label. The mint is Goldback Inc. in conjunction with Valaurum, utilizing their proprietary vacuum deposition process to create the Aurum thin-film gold note. The metal content is specified as 24K gold with a weight of 1/1000 Troy Ounce as printed on the note. Historical context places this as a local voluntary currency or bullion collectible part of a regional Texas series issued around 2023, featuring the Dallas-Fort Worth skyline and Texas-themed iconography. The strike type is a specialized physical vapor deposition rather than a traditional mint strike, resulting in a high-definition, multi-colored metallic finish. No formal third-party grading is present or known for this specific specimen.
