I had two Five dollar bills that we "redeemable in Gold". I gave them to two of my grandchildren.

 

I had my eyes on a $50 but it disappeared before I could gather the funds to purchase it. In the meantime these two will have to keep each other company.

 

This is the companion note to the OP - Woods/Mellon 1928 $20 GC.

 

Very nice, I don't have any yet, but it is definitely on the list to acquire in time

 

The verbiage there mimics that of a Gold Certificate, but it obviously wasn't one. Color and legal ability to claim gold was less definitive.

I covered the different verbiage involving gold in the 1920's and 1930's here:

I almost pulled the trigger on a very nice $50 Gold Certificate at FUN 2026. I think it was a 50 or 55 as I recall...would have cost close to $2,000 for my most expensive currency purchase by alot.

In the end, I didn't have enough $$$ as I did what the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team did and went for the gold (coins).

 

This is a decent PMG 45:
