{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}To celebrate Americas approaching 250th anniversary of independence, Goldbacks has produced a special one-time issue Washington D.C. Goldback. Washington D.C. was officially selected as the capital city through the Residence Act of 1790, a decision influenced by major political figures such as Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. This commemorative note features Columbia, an early female figure used to symbolize the nation, as the main design theme. Right now, 1 Colorized Washington D.C. Goldback Gold Notes are available from BGASC.
Highlights:
Each 1 Colorized Washington D.C. Goldback Gold Note is housed in a protective currency slab and has been issued a GEM sub 70 grade. This grade reflects strong eye appeal, with no visible flaws when viewed normally. When inspected under magnification, small details such as very minor marks or slight centering differences may be noticeable.
Design
The obverse of the Colorized Washington D.C. Goldback Gold Note features Columbia standing prominently in the foreground, while the U.S. Capitol Building appears in the background. Columbia is commonly used in American symbolism to represent the ideals of the nation and is often portrayed holding meaningful objects. In this design, she carries both a sword and shield. The shield is associated with defense and the protection of liberty, representing the nations desire to preserve independence and democratic principles. The sword symbolizes strength and preparedness, showing a willingness to defend freedom when necessary. Together, these items create an image of a nation focused on peace and stability while remaining ready to protect its values.
History
Washington D.C. was created using land granted by Maryland and Virginia along the Potomac River. Its location was intentionally selected to place the capital between the northern and southern regions of the young country. President George Washington chose the site and later tasked Pierre Charles LEnfant with designing the citys layout. In 1800, the federal government officially relocated from Philadelphia to Washington D.C., though the city remained incomplete and continued developing over many years.
