Washington Goldback 1/1000 24K Gold $130

Washington Goldback 1/1000 24K Gold $130 This Washington Goldback represents a unique intersection of numismatics and bullion, containing exactly 1/1000th of a troy ounce of 24-karat physical gold. As a "Limited Edition" release for the Washington D.C. series, it features intricate, high-detail artwork depicting the allegorical figure Columbia holding a shield, set against a backdrop of the Washington Monument and celebratory fireworks. The gold is layered between durable polyester sheets, creating a flexible, note-like currency that is designed for small-scale barter or as a collectible. Special security features include a unique serial number, visible light-diffracting elements, and a distinct green-tinted border that differentiates this regional issue. Valued at $130, this specimen is noted for its high numismatic premium above the spot price of gold due to its status as a limited production run and its specialized vacuum-deposition manufacturing process.

Mint: Valaurum for Goldback Inc. Metal Content: 24K Gold (.999 Fine Gold).
