The Series 1922 $20 Gold Certificate was among the last of its class to circulate freely before the Roosevelt administration's 1933 gold recall effectively ended gold-redeemable currency for ordinary Americans. Executive Order 6102 required citizens to surrender gold certificates to Federal Reserve banks, and most were turned in — making survivors proportionally scarce relative to original print runs.
Speelman served as Register of the Treasury and White as Treasurer; their pairing dates this note to a narrow window, 1921–1922. The 1922 series replaced the 1905 and 1906 issues and was the sole small-series gold certificate at this denomination to use the plain orange-gold reverse without the ornate "XX" overprint of earlier issues.
