Route 66 opened in 1926, and for its centenary Goldback produced a single commemorative 1 note in partnership with APMEX — an APMEXclusive® release, not part of any state series. It holds 1\/1000 of a troy ounce of 24-carat gold, the same as every other 1 Goldback, but the design is unlike anything else in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe artwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere a state Goldback carries one virtue and one scene, this note is a collage. Vintage cars, the Route 66 shield, old bridges, roadside motels, filling stations and diners are packed in together, with a prominent 100th Anniversary emblem marking the 1926–2026 milestone and a decorative border in a period style. It is deliberately busy — a road trip on a single note rather than a single stop along it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho this note suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone collecting Goldbacks who wants the commemoratives alongside the state series, and anyone with a soft spot for the Mother Road or mid-century Americana. Because it is a single-issue note rather than the first year of a long-running series, it also works well as a stand-alone gift with a story attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMake it part of your story\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it with the matching Route 66 Silverback for a gold-and-silver centenary set, or give one to someone who has driven the route themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe price includes artwork and manufacture as well as gold.
