Description

The 1922 $10 Gold Certificate, part of the Series of 1922, represents a fascinating period in United States currency history. These certificates were unique in that they were redeemable in gold coin, reflecting a time when paper money was directly linked to precious metals. The note features a portrait of Michael Hillegas, the first Treasurer of the United States, adding historical significance to its design. The promise to pay "TEN DOLLARS IN GOLD COIN" is prominently displayed, underscoring the currency's backing. The signatures of the Treasury officials, Speelman and White, are also present. Gold Certificates like this one were issued as part of an effort to keep gold reserves within the banking system. The large serial numbers and the distinctive gold-colored ink make them highly collectible today. The plate number C99/35 indicates the specific printing plate used to produce this particular note. The PCGS grade of Very Fine 30 suggests that the note is in relatively good condition, with some wear but still retaining much of its original detail.
