1922 $20 Gold Certificate

This 1922 $20 Gold Certificate, Fr. 1187, represents one of the most iconic designs in American currency. These notes were actually redeemable for gold coin until the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 removed this privilege. The Series of 1922 was the last large size gold certificate issue available to the general public, making it a significant historical marker in U.S. monetary history.

Graded About Uncirculated 55 by PCGS, this note displays minimal circulation evidence with only slight handling. The golden-orange Treasury seal and serial numbers remain vibrant against the crisp black design elements. The paper retains nearly all its original snap and crispness. The orange-gold reverse showcases the Great Seal of the United States in strong detail with excellent color retention. The margins are well-centered, contributing to the note's strong eye appeal despite its light circulation.
