Washington D.C. was formed from land originally provided by Maryland and Virginia along the Potomac River. Its location was carefully chosen to balance regional interests between northern and southern states. President George Washington selected the final site himself and appointed Pierre Charles L’Enfant to design the city’s layout. Although named in Washington’s honor, the city developed slowly after the federal government officially moved there from Philadelphia in 1800.

The obverse of the Washington D.C. Goldback Gold Note presents Columbia standing prominently in the foreground, with the U.S. Capitol Building shown in the background. Columbia has long been used to represent American ideals, often depicted carrying both a shield and a sword. The shield stands for protection, liberty, and the defense of democratic principles. It reflects the nation’s commitment to preserving freedom and independence. The sword represents strength, preparedness, and the resolve to act when those values are challenged. Together, these symbols reflect a balance of defense and responsibility that has shaped the American identity.
