  • Scarce Pre-Recall Issue: One of the last U.S. notes redeemable in gold, made obsolete by FDR’s historic 1933 Gold Recall Order—now a coveted piece of monetary history.

  • Striking Design Features: Showcases Andrew Jackson on the face with bold gold serial numbers and seal; the reverse displays the iconic White House in rich green ink.

  • Collector's Gem: From the short-lived 1928 series, signed by Woods and Mellon—highly sought after for its rarity, eye appeal, and direct connection to America’s gold-backed currency era.

Once a promise backed by precious metal, the 1928 $20 Gold Certificate is more than currency—it's a golden relic of America’s monetary past. Bearing the bold yellow seal and the declaration “in gold coin payable to the bearer on demand,” this note once empowered its holder to claim real gold from the U.S. Treasury—a freedom extinguished by FDR’s Gold Recall Order of 1933, making surviving examples like this one rare and historically invaluable.

This small-size Series 1928 note is far scarcer than its larger predecessors, produced in limited quantities before gold certificates were withdrawn from circulation. The front features a striking portrait of Andrew Jackson, flanked by radiant gold serial numbers and Treasury seal, symbolizing the strength and prestige once tied to America’s gold-backed currency. On the reverse, a vivid green image of the White House ties the note to the seat of U.S. executive power.

Signed by Woods and Mellon, this certificate bridges the gap between numismatics and American history—capturing a moment when paper truly stood for gold. Whether you're a currency collector, a history enthusiast, or an investor in hard-to-find pieces, this 1928 $20 Gold Certificate stands as a fascinating, tangible testament to a bygone financial era.
