New Hampshire Goldbacks: frequently asked questions
What denominations does the New Hampshire Goldback series include?
We carry New Hampshire Goldbacks in five denominations: the 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 Goldback. Each note pairs a virtue with Granite State history, from Fort Constitution to the White Mountains. Buy a single note or build the full set. There are no order minimums.
How much gold is in a New Hampshire Goldback?
Each New Hampshire Goldback holds a fixed amount of .9999 fine 24k gold, set by its denomination: the 1 holds 1/1,000, the 5 holds 1/200, the 10 holds 1/100, the 25 holds 1/40 and the 50 holds 1/20 of a troy ounce. The gold is physically embedded in the note through a patented vacuum deposition process.
What is on the New Hampshire Goldback artwork?
The 1 shows Gratia (Grace) as an Abenaki woman beside a wigwam. The 5 shows Veritas (Truth) on a path to a covered bridge, and the 10 shows Prospicientia (Foresight) at Fort Constitution. The 25 shows Fortitudine (Fortitude) as a minuteman beside a "Live Free or Die" monument, and the 50 shows Libertas (Liberty) in the White Mountain National Forest.
Does a New Hampshire Goldback hold the same gold as other state series?
Yes. Gold content depends on the denomination, not the state. A 5 New Hampshire Goldback holds the same 1/200 troy ounce of .9999 fine 24k gold as a 5 from Utah or Florida. What changes from series to series is the artwork. Goldbacks from every state series spend at participating merchants across the Goldback network.
How do I verify a New Hampshire Goldback?
Every Goldback has microprinting, raised imagery on the back that you can feel, and a unique serial number. New Hampshire notes minted in 2025 or later also carry UV-reactive ink on the reverse, so the denomination and Goldback logo glow under a 365 nm UV light. Our guide on how to verify your Goldbacks walks through each check.
