2 Arizona Goldback Gold Note — 1/500 troy oz · 99.9% pure 24k gold
Two notes' worth of real gold — and the denomination that put the Grand Canyon on the map.
Each note contains exactly 1/500 of a troy ounce of .9999 fine 24k gold, physically embedded using a patented vacuum deposition process that took over 20 years to develop. You're not buying a certificate or a fund. This is gold you can hold, spend at 2,000+ merchants, or save.
Like all small-denomination physical gold products, Goldbacks carry a premium over raw spot price. That premium reflects the precision manufacturing required to produce spendable fractional gold at this scale. No one else has mastered this process. It also reflects real utility: this is gold designed to circulate, not sit in a vault. Goldbacks have appreciated an average of ~14.47% annually since their 2019 launch.
The Arizona 2 Goldback honors Exploration through the daring 1869 Powell Geographic Expedition — the first recorded river passage through the Grand Canyon. At the forefront, a windswept young woman rows a sturdy wooden boat inspired by the expedition's Emma Dean, embodying courage, curiosity, and the pursuit of the unknown. Behind her stands Major John Wesley Powell, leading with resolve — his Civil War injury a quiet testament to perseverance. The canyon is bathed in early morning light as California condors wheel overhead and a vigilant bighorn sheep surveys the terrain, symbolizing Arizona's untamed wilderness. Inscribed at the base: "Let us not grow weary." — Galatians 6:9.
