25 Idaho Goldback Gold Note — 1/40 troy oz · 99.9% pure 24k gold
1/40 of a troy ounce of real gold — the denomination shaped by Idaho's own State Treasurer.
Each note contains exactly 1/40 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 Idaho 25 Goldback carries Idaho's most historically significant story in the series: nuclear energy. In 1951, Experimental Breeder Reactor I (EBR-I) near Arco, Idaho became the first power plant in the world to generate electricity from nuclear energy. Shortly after, Arco became the first city in the world powered by nuclear energy — a milestone that changed the course of modern civilization. This denomination was directly shaped by Idaho State Treasurer Julie Ellsworth, who recommended highlighting the state's nuclear legacy during the design process.
