A Quarter-Ounce of Gold — A Lifetime of Americana
The 2026 $25 Gold Rodeo from the Global Coin Series is a stunning tribute to American Western heritage — struck in gold with a rare Matte Proof finish, certified at the perfect NGC PF70 grade with a First Day of Issue designation, and bearing the autograph of former U.S. Treasurer Anna Escobedo Cabral.
Rodeo: The Original American Sport
Born from the working cattle ranches of 19th-century Texas, the rodeo evolved into one of America’s defining cultural institutions — a celebration of skill, courage, and the bond between rider and animal. This $25 gold coin captures that tradition in a coin of enduring value: beautiful in design, precious in metal, and flawless in grade.
Matte Proof Gold: The Connoisseur’s Choice
The Matte Proof finish has a long history of prestige in numismatics — it was used by the U.S. Mint in the early 20th century for special presentation coins intended for collectors and dignitaries. Today, it is synonymous with the finest hand-crafted coin production. On a gold coin, the contrast between the soft matte fields and finely struck design elements is incomparable.
NGC PF70 — Absolute Perfection
PF70 is NGC’s highest possible grade — a coin with no post-production imperfections of any kind under magnification. Combined with the First Day of Issue designation and Cabral’s signature, this is a gold coin for the collector who accepts nothing less than the absolute best.
