1 GoldBack (Nevada) – 1/1000 oz pure gold – SKU #44103

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. Around this same time other states began to adopt similar laws allowing precious metals to be used, without sales tax, in the exchange for goods, services and other financial transactions. As a result of the new pro-gold laws and in order to fill the demand for smaller exchanges, in 2019 Goldback, Inc. began printing currency notes with a thin layer of 24k gold encased 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, the Nevada Goldback bills feature different designs for each denomination that are in line with the cardinal virtues of Caritas (Charity = 1 Goldback), Sophia (Wisdom = 5 Goldbacks), Justitia (Justice = 10 Goldbacks), Fortitudine (Fortitude = 25 Goldbacks), and Libertas (Liberty = 50 Goldbacks).

This particular 10 Goldback Nevada note contains 1/1000th of a troy ounce of 24k gold and features an artfully crafted design of Caritas (Lady of Charity), patterned after a depiction of Mary, mother of Jesus, as found in Nevada’s oldest church building: St. Augustine’s Catholic Church. Some of the more major symbols of Charity include: the Sierra Nevada lily, the Mary Magdalene Rose, cherubs, Burning Hearts, a lit candle, and Nevada’s sun rising over the mountains. There is also an ash tree, which is representative of marriage and Las Vegas’s status as the marriage capital of the world. There are many other hidden texts and symbols on this note, each symbolic of its importance to both the State of Nevada and to the principles of Charity.

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