Wyoming Goldbacks

The Wyoming Goldback series draws from the landscapes, wildlife, and character of the least populous state in the union — a place defined by open terrain, self-reliance, and reverence for the natural world. We carry five denominations of .9999 fine 24k gold, with artwork honoring the virtues Wyoming embodies: Reverence, Boldness, Trust, Loyalty and Liberty.

Each Wyoming Goldback contains real gold physically embedded using a patented vacuum deposition process. The denomination determines the gold content — from 1/1000th of a troy ounce in the 1 Goldback up to 1/20th of a troy ounce in the 50 Goldback. Every note is hand-drawn by American artists and produced to exacting standards.

Wyoming was one of the early states to join the Goldback program, building on its history as a sound money state. The series reflects Wyoming's identity: uncluttered, honest, and grounded in real value. Goldbacks circulate among Wyoming merchants, farmers, and tradespeople who prefer to transact in something that holds its worth.

Wyoming Goldbacks: frequently asked questions

What denominations does the Wyoming Goldback series include?

We carry Wyoming Goldbacks in five denominations: the 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 Goldback. Each note pairs a virtue with a Wyoming landmark or story, from Devils Tower to Yellowstone. Buy a single note or build the full set. There are no order minimums.

How much gold is in a Wyoming Goldback?

Each Wyoming 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 Wyoming Goldback artwork?

The 1 shows Reverentia (Reverence) in traditional Shoshone attire on the Wyoming plains, with Devils Tower behind her. The 5 shows Audentia (Boldness) as a rodeo queen, the 10 shows Fiducia (Trust) as a pioneer in Star Valley near Split Rock, the 25 sets Fideletas (Loyalty) before the Grand Tetons, and the 50 shows Libertas (Liberty) hiking Yellowstone by Old Faithful.

Does a Wyoming Goldback hold the same gold as other state series?

Yes. Gold content depends on the denomination, not the state. A 10 Wyoming Goldback holds the same 1/100 troy ounce of .9999 fine 24k gold as a 10 from Utah or Arizona. 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 Wyoming Goldback?

Every Goldback has microprinting, raised imagery on the back that you can feel, and a unique serial number. Wyoming 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.
