Before the Statue of Liberty became the most recognized feminine symbol of the United States, Columbia served as the nation’s primary female personification throughout the late 1700s and 1800s. Her name traces back to Christopher Columbus, and she appeared widely in early American poetry, political artwork, and public monuments. Often portrayed as a classical figure dressed in flowing robes, Columbia commonly wore a liberty cap or a crown of stars. She stood as a symbol of freedom, unity, and national purpose, appearing on early coins, in patriotic music such as “Hail, Columbia,” and across paintings and sculptures that helped define American identity.

Each 1 Washington D.C. Goldback Gold Note is individually protected within a clear currency sleeve, with this listing offering a total of 100 notes secured together in a strapped bundle. As a one-time commemorative issue, this release honors the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026, making it a meaningful collectible tied to a major national milestone.

The obverse of the Washington D.C. Goldback Gold Note features Columbia standing prominently in the foreground, with the U.S. Capitol Building visible behind her. She is shown holding both a shield and a sword, traditional elements long associated with her imagery. The shield represents protection, defense of liberty, and the preservation of democratic ideals. The sword symbolizes strength, readiness, and the determination to defend freedom when necessary. Together, these elements reflect the nation’s commitment to safeguarding its values while remaining prepared to stand firm when those principles are tested.
