Opmerkingen

Gold Certificates of this series were payable in gold coin on demand — a promise the U.S. government honored until the 1933 Executive Order 6102 forced private holders to surrender gold and gold-backed currency to Federal Reserve Banks at $20.67 per troy ounce. Retention after the deadline was technically a federal offense, which drove mass redemption and destroyed the overwhelming majority of surviving examples.

The 1922 date places this note in the final large-size Gold Certificate issue before the small-size series began in 1928. Speelman and White served as Register of the Treasury and Treasurer of the United States respectively — a pairing that covered fiscal years 1921 through 1927.
