When these gorgeous, oversized notes were banned in 1933, millions were recalled and destroyed by the Treasury. Today, while legal to own them, they are difficult to find; in fact, Gold Certificates are rarer than gold coins of the era, but surprisingly more affordable! With gold engraving on the back, they were the last large-size $20 Gold Certificates issued. The note features George Washington’s portrait, a gold seal and serial number. In Very Fine condition, it comes presented in a clear acrylic holder.
