Each 3 California Limited Early Release Goldback Gold Note arrives sealed inside a protective currency slab by the Paper Money Guaranty. These notes are Mint State 70 specimens, with no visible flaws or folds present. This Limited Early Release marks the start of the new California Goldback Series. This is also the first note in the broader Goldback Collection to feature spot coloration in the design, with UV-reactive ink for authentication.

The California Goldback Series starts with a depiction of Harmonia on the front. Harmonia, the Greek goddess of harmony and concord, is one of the most beautiful and symbolically resonant figures in the classical allegorical tradition, the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite, whose very parentage — the union of war and love — encoded in her divine origins the idea that true harmony is not a passive state but the active, dynamic reconciliation of opposing forces into a balanced and beautiful whole. Depicted in art as a graceful, serene figure whose calm bearing and gentle expression communicate the deep, abiding peace that comes not from the absence of tension but from its perfect resolution.

In the design of the 3 California Limited Early Release Goldback, you will find the figure of Harmonia surfing along California’s beautiful Pacific coastline. The California coastline is one of the natural wonders of North America, its 840 miles of extraordinarily varied shoreline encompassing the dramatic, fog-wrapped sea cliffs and redwood-backed beaches of the north, the sun-drenched golden strands and iconic pier culture of Southern California, and every spectacular variation between, from the wild, wind-sculpted beauty of Point Reyes to the turquoise coves of the Channel Islands and the legendary surf breaks of Malibu and Santa Cruz.
