1 GoldBack (Utah) – 1/1000 oz pure gold – SKU #44101

Description

In 2011, the Utah Legal Tender Act was passed, allowing gold to be voluntarily used as currency for purchases within the State of Utah. In response, in 2019, Goldback, Inc. began printing currency notes with a thin layer of 24k gold within a polymer coating, with each note containing a certain amount of gold from 1/1000th of a troy ounce (1 Goldback) up to 1/20th of an ounce (50 Goldbacks). Designed to be spent, saved or traded, these bills feature different designs for each denomination that are in line with the cardinal virtues of Prudentiae (Prudence = 1 Goldback), Veritas (Truth = 5 Goldbacks), Justitia (Justice = 10 Goldbacks), Victoria (Victory = 25 Goldbacks), and Libertas (Liberty = 50 Goldbacks).

This particular 1 Goldback Utah note contains 1/1000th of a troy ounce of 24k gold and features an artfully crafted design of a Native American woman seated on a sandstone rock next to an ancient bristle-cone pine tree. She is looking into a mirror in one hand, symbolizing perspective, with a wolf next to her calling out to all to use prudence in their decisions. There are many other hidden texts and symbols on this note, each symbolic of the importance in dealing prudently.

Use these notes to purchase goods and services wherever they are accepted or collect and hold them for their artistic charm!
