Obverse

On the obverse of the 1928 $20 Gold Certificate is a depiction of President Andrew Jackson. Born in the Carolinas just before the American Revolution, Andrew Jackson would go on to serve with distinction in the War of 1812, famously routing the British Army at the Battle of New Orleans to deliver the United States a decisive victory at the end of the war, even though that battle came two weeks after peace had been agreed upon.

Reverse

The reverse side of 1928 $20 Gold Certificates comes with an image of the White House in Washington D.C. The designs on both the obverse and reverse of these notes were the same as those introduced in 1928 on the $20 Federal Reserve Note. As the United States downsized the format of its notes in 1928, designs were shared across various collections with ink colors the most obvious way to distinguish between the forms of currency.

History

The 1928 $20 Gold Certificate was issued in two series. The 1928 Series had the signature combination of Woods and Mellon, while the 1928A Series had the signature combination of Woods and Mills. The Federal Reserve Note has serial numbers and Treasury seals in green ink, while Gold Certificates have yellow ink.
