Description

The 1934 $100,000 US Gold Certificate Specimen

For the first time in history, collectors and investors can acquire fractional ownership of the extraordinary 1934 $100,000 US Gold Certificate Uniface Specimen through an exclusive partnership between Kagin’s, Inc. and Vici Network. As the sole known specimen of America’s highest-denomination currency ever issued, this once-impossible acquisition is now within reach. Through secure blockchain technology, your investment in this museum-caliber treasure is authenticated and protected—giving you verifiable ownership of an iconic piece of American financial history.

The Highest Denomination in U.S. Currency History

The 1934 $100,000 US Gold Certificate Specimen represents the pinnacle of American currency. Recently authenticated and graded by Paper Money Guaranty (PMG) with a Choice Uncirculated 63 grade, this specimen (Friedberg #2413s) features the signatures of United States Treasurer William A. Julian and Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr., along with a G.F.C. Smillie-engraved portrait of President Woodrow Wilson.

The Federal Reserve of New York issued these short-lived Series $100,000 Gold Certificates from December 18, 1934, through January 9, 1935, backed by an equal amount of gold bullion held by the Treasury Department. They were issued exclusively for official use in transferring large sums of money between Federal Reserve Banks and were never released or circulated among the public.

While approximately 42,000 notes were printed, most were subsequently destroyed. The few issued notes that survive today remain solely in the possession of the U.S. government, displayed at institutions like the Smithsonian and select Federal Reserve Banks. No issued example has ever been available to the collecting community, making this specimen the only form available to collectors.

Fractional Ownership and the Blockchain

The fusion of this historically significant artifact with blockchain technology creates a perfect match for fractional ownership of real-world assets. NFTs (non-fungible tokens) provide a secure smart contract solution that allows multiple investors to own a piece of this extraordinary specimen—an item that would otherwise be far beyond reach.

This technological innovation offers several key benefits:

  1. Ease of use: Purchase shares with a credit card or crypto through a simple online checkout process—no specialized knowledge required. All you need is a mobile phone number to completely manage your asset.
  2. Certified and verifiable: The blockchain creates a tamper-proof record of ownership that cannot be altered or disputed.
  3. Secure and transparent: Ownership is verified undeniably on the blockchain without disclosing any personal information, maintaining both security and privacy.

How It Works: The Technology Behind Your Investment

500 fractional NFT shares will be offered. Each purchase includes:

  • Blockchain-Secured NFT: Your ownership is represented by a unique non-fungible token (NFT) on the blockchain—an immutable digital record that cannot be duplicated, forged, or altered. Each NFT contains a high-resolution digital image of your specific piece of the $100,000 US Gold Certificate Specimen, creating both a collectible visual representation and a secure proof of ownership.
  • User-Friendly Digital Wallet: Upon purchase, you’ll receive access to a secure digital wallet that requires only your mobile phone number for authentication—no complex passwords or crypto knowledge needed. This wallet displays your asset in real-time, allows you to monitor its status, and serves as your secure portal for eventual redemption when the physical note is sold.
  • Enterprise-Grade Security: All NFTs are secured by Vici Network using advanced encryption protocols and multi-signature authorization systems. This institutional-level security ensures your digital asset remains protected from unauthorized access while maintaining the transparent verification inherent to blockchain technology.
  • Physical Asset Protection: The actual 1934 $100,000 US Gold Certificate Specimen is stored by Kagin’s, Inc. Kagin’s, a trusted name in numismatics since 1933, maintains strict custody protocols with regular third-party verification of the specimen’s condition and location.
  • Smart Contract Redemption: When the physical specimen is eventually sold, a smart contract automatically triggers the redemption process. As a shareholder, you’ll receive notification through your digital wallet, and funds will be distributed according to your ownership percentage—a process that’s both transparent and verifiable on the blockchain.

This innovative system combines the security and immutability of blockchain technology with the tangible value of a historic numismatic treasure, allowing fractional ownership that’s both accessible and secure for collectors and investors.
