10 GoldBacks (New Hampshire) – 1/100 oz pure gold – SKU #44302

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 New Hampshire Goldback bills feature different designs for each denomination that are in line with the cardinal virtues of Gratia (Grace = 1 Goldback), Veritas (Truth = 5 Goldbacks), Prospicientia (Foresight = 10 Goldbacks), Fortitudine (Fortitude = 25 Goldbacks), and Libertas (Liberty = 50 Goldbacks).

This particular 10 Goldback New Hampshire note contains 1/100th of a troy ounce of 24k gold and features an artfully crafted design of Prospicientia (Lady of Foresight), depicted after a colonial looking woman in Sons of Liberty attire (who have a historical presence in the State of New Hampshire for the taking of Fort William and Mary from the British, which is now known as Fort Constitution). This event was arguably one of the first major battles of the Revolutionary War and would not have been a win for the early colonies if it weren’t for the warning of Paul Revere and the foresight to take immediate action. There are many other hidden texts and symbols on this note, each symbolic of its importance to both the State of New Hampshire and to the principles of Foresight.

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