Limited Early Release California 3 Goldback — 3/1,000 troy oz · 99.9% pure 24k gold · PMG-graded
A special-edition Goldback celebrating phase one of the California series — and the first LER ever to feature spot color, with blue accents on the surfboard and the Pacific wave. Only 8,000 will ever be made.
Each California LER contains exactly 3/1,000 of a troy ounce of .9999 fine 24k gold, physically embedded using the patented vacuum deposition process that took over 20 years to develop. This one arrives sealed and encapsulated by PMG (Paper Money Guaranty), graded 70 Superb Gem Uncirculated — museum-grade preservation for a note built to be kept.
The artwork embodies Harmonia, the virtue of harmony. A surfer carves a powerful Pacific wave along California's iconic coastline, moving in balance with the sea. A dolphin runs alongside as a symbol of cooperation, Brown Pelicans — California's state bird — soar on the coastal wind, and the Santa Monica Pier stands in the distance. Hold it under UV light and a hidden sea turtle glides beneath the waves, a tribute to the marine life of California's waters. Inscribed along the bottom: "Courage means you don't let fear stop you."
As a limited early release, this is both real spendable gold and a genuine collectible. With a mintage capped at 8,000 and PMG grading locking in its condition, the California LER is the kind of note that gets harder to find the moment it sells out. Once they're gone, they're gone for good.
