Design

On the obverse of the Colorized Washington D.C. Goldback Gold Note, Columbia appears in the foreground with the U.S. Capitol Building set behind her. Columbia has traditionally been shown with items that symbolize American values. Her shield represents defense and the protection of liberty, as well as the determination to maintain independence and democratic ideals. The sword reflects strength and preparedness, showing a willingness to defend freedom and justice when required. Together, these elements present the United States as a nation committed to safeguarding its principles.

History

Washington D.C. was formed from land provided by Maryland and Virginia along the Potomac River. Its placement was intended to create a balance between northern and southern states. President George Washington chose the specific location and appointed Pierre Charles LEnfant to design the layout of the new capital city, which was later named in his honor. The federal government officially moved from Philadelphia to Washington D.C. in 1800, though development of the city progressed slowly in its early years.
