National gold bank notes (NGBN), issued by nine national gold banks in California in the 1870s and 1880s, were national bank notes redeemable in gold. Printed on a yellow-tinted paper, six NGBN denominations circulated: $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, and $500. A $1,000 NGBN was designed and printed, but never issued.
