These South Dakota Goldback foil notes contain 1/1000 oz .999 fine Gold which is the first local, voluntary currency to be made of a spendable, beautiful piece of artwork that contains physical Gold. Goldbacks are also a great way to invest in small increments of pure gold to add to your investment portfolio.
The Goldback project truly began in spirit with the passage of the Utah Legal Tender Act in 2011 which recognized certain types of Gold as currency within the state. Since that time the technology to mint Gold into a spendable form for small transactions has become a reality.
Currency Highlights:
- Contains 1/1000 oz (0.001 oz) of .999 fine Gold.
- Individual notes come in protective plastic.
- Face: Obverse: The obverse is an homage to the virtue of Peace. Pax (Latin word for peace) is allegorically represented as a young Native American woman of the Lakota Nation. The woman performs a hoop dance while wearing ceremonial regalia that is traditionally handmade and embroidered with symbols representing the wearer’s name, tribe, heritage, family legends, and personal achievements. A banner below bears the inscription “ALLIANCE OF FRIENDS,” which is the modernized evolution of “The Friendly Ones,” the meaning of the word “Lakota” in the native language. The Lakota woman is accompanied by an American bison and a bald eagle, the national animal and bird of the United States, along with a coyote and an American pasque blossom, the official South Dakota state animal and flower. The scene is captioned “SEEK PEACE” below. The powerful image is accompanied by additional inscriptions that include “2023,” “SOUTH DAKOTA GOLDBACK,” “SPECIE LEGAL TENDER INSTRUMENT,” “1/1000 TROY OUNCE 24K GOLD” and “ONE.”
