Dallas Fort Worth Texas 1/1000 Troy Oz Gold This Dallas Fort Worth localized 1 Goldback note contains 1/1000th of a troy ounce of 24-karat gold, expertly vacuum-deposited between protective polyester layers to create a durable, flexible, and spendable form of physical bullion. The vertical design features a rich artistic tribute to North Texas, showcasing the iconic Dallas skyline dominated by Reunion Tower alongside the rustic heritage of the Fort Worth Stockyards, complete with longhorn cattle and a "Y'all Street" sign. Specialized security features include a unique serial number, intricate micro-printing, and a distinct holographic shimmer that appears when the note is tilted. While not government-issued legal tender, these "Aurum" notes are part of a private voluntary local currency movement in Texas, designed to allow for small-fractional gold ownership and barter transactions based on the daily spot price of gold. Condition: The item appears to be in uncirculated condition, showing sharp edges and crisp printing without visible folds, creases, or heavy handling marks. There is a small white sticker on the protective sleeve or surface, but the underlying note remains intact. Mint: Produced by Valaurum for Goldback Inc. Metal Content: 24K Gold (.999 fine gold). Historical Context: This is a Dallas-Fort Worth series Goldback, a local currency innovation launched in the 21st century. It is designed as a voluntary local currency that incorporates physical gold into a spendable, polymer-protected format, featuring regional landmarks such as the Dallas skyline and Reunion Tower. Strike Type: Vacuum deposition of gold onto a polymer film (Aurum process). Grading: Ungraded/Raw.
