Key features & why it matters

• State of Texas issued & supported: Produced in connection with the Texas Bullion Depository, a state agency, recognized as the only state-administered and audited vaulting facility in the nation.

• Official Texas elements: Features the Official Seal of the State of Texas and printed signatures of Governor Greg Abbott and Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock.

• Pure 24K gold options: Released in three weights: 5 Centigrams, 20 Centigrams, and 100 Centigrams, with this note representing the 20 Centigram edition.

• Aurum® technology by Valaurum: Created using U.S.-patented Aurum® manufacturing: pure 24K gold is sandwiched between two secure polymer layers, delivering durability plus advanced protection.

• Bank-level anti-counterfeiting: Built with multiple security features, including special UV elements visible on both sides under UV light.

• Inaugural 2025 release (lower print run): The series will be released annually—and because 2025 notes are issued late in the year, this first edition is expected to have a particularly lower print run.

• Artwork by Joel Iskowitz: Each design is illustrated by acclaimed American artist Joel Iskowitz, whose work has been displayed at the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol, and the White House, and has appeared globally across books, publications, public spaces, coins, and stamps.

• Texas heritage tribute: As an homage to the Republic of Texas dollars first issued in 1837, the bills feature the iconic orange Star of Texas (Lonestar).

• Gold content you can verify: Every note is rigorously tested to ensure proper gold content, and the gold is confirmable via standard XRF verification. The gold is also 100% recoverable through proper refining processes.

• Collector packaging: Packs of 100 bills are secured with an official band featuring the Official Seal of the State of Texas.

• Not legal tender: Every bill is clearly designated NOT LEGAL TENDER.
