Description
$20 Gold Certificate from 1922. These were special types of U.S. currency that were redeemable for gold coin at the time they were issued. Some notable features include: The distinctive orange/gold-colored seal and serial numbers, which differentiate it from regular Federal Reserve Notes The text "IN GOLD COIN" and "GOLD CERTIFICATE" prominently displayed The series date of 1922 The portrait of George Washington on the front The Great Seal of the United States on the reverse in orange/gold color The serial number K17692876 Signatures of H. V. Speelman (Register of the Treasury) and Frank White (Treasurer of the United States) These certificates were part of America's gold standard era, before 1933 when private gold ownership was restricted. The note states it is "PAYABLE TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND" in gold coin, which was a key feature of U.S. currency during this period. The certificate represents an interesting piece of American monetary history, as it comes from a time when U.S. currency was directly backed by and redeemable for precious metals.
