Now Available: Graded, Colorized Washington, D.C. Goldbacks!

When we first announced Washington, D.C. Goldbacks, we shared that a small portion would be set aside for grading. We’re happy to announce that these special editions have now arrived! They make up the first 2,500 of the original 250,000 mintage, but have one important distinction: spot color on the shield. This is the first colorized Goldback ever created!

Graded, colorized Washington, D.C. Goldbacks are available now through our network of distributors.

2026 Goldback Template Updates

If you’ve looked closely at the D.C. Goldbacks, you may have noticed a few updates to the template. These updates will be available for all Goldbacks minted in 2026!

Let’s break down what’s new and what’s improved.

Design Updates

Goldbacks are often someone’s first experience holding spendable gold, and the design plays a big role in that moment. The template got a refresh to improve both looks and legibility, including:

• Improved typography for readability
• The new Goldback wordmark

These updates clearly reflect our mission to build a modern gold currency for everyone.

Security Features

We kept the elements people recognize, upgrading them to add new layers of security:

• Higher-resolution security features
• Hidden UV-reactive artwork 
• Improved anti-counterfeiting design
• A new manufacturing process to support these upgrades

This improved technology makes Goldbacks even harder to replicate, ensuring they remain a trustworthy currency. 

Why the Updates?

We’re always working to improve how Goldbacks look and function! These template updates are part of that effort. They allow us to increase the longevity of Goldbacks, enhance their security features, and enable our customers to spend them as easily as possible.
