Utah 1/100th Troy OZ 24KT Gold (10) 2023
This listing is for a 2023 series Utah 1/100th Goldback note.
Introducing the Goldback, a revolutionary currency that pioneers the fusion of spendable, exquisite, small denomination, physical gold – a true testament to innovation in monetary exchange.
In 2011, with the enactment of the Utah Legal Tender Act, a historic precedent was set, as certain forms of gold gained official recognition as legal tender, reinstating gold's status as a legitimate form of currency.
Since then, advancements in technology have propelled the transformation of physical gold into a practical form for everyday transactions. Through cutting-edge vacuum deposition technology, each Goldback bill is meticulously layered with .9999 fine gold, ensuring precise quantities of pure gold encased within layers of polyester, providing unparalleled resilience and durability.
The Utah Goldback Series stands as a symbol of this innovation, marking the inception of the first-ever Goldback Series. Illustrated by Cheri Jensen, a local Utah artist renowned for her intricate work, despite being blind in one eye, the series intricately depicts Utah's journey through history, from its pre-settlement era to its settlement and beyond, culminating in an aspirational representation of a transcendent future.
At the heart of the Utah Goldback Series lies the virtue of Justitia, or Justice, cast against the backdrop of southern Utah's iconic red cliffs. Clad in period settler's attire, Justitia embodies impartiality and fairness, wielding a two-edged sword and scales to symbolize the balance of righteousness.
With a blindfold over her eyes and a cross, heart, and anchor on the balances, Justitia represents the role of faith, hope, and charity in the pursuit of justice. A seagull carrying a cricket in its mouth and a desert storm in the background symbolize the miraculous events experienced by Utah settlers, underscoring the positive aspects of divine justice.
In the brush at her feet, a sage hen with twelve chicks symbolizes the protection and mercy that justice can bring, drawing inspiration from biblical imagery.
Goldbacks aren't just currency; they're a symbol of value recognized by anyone who appreciates the timeless worth of gold.
Experience the power of Justice and the enduring value of gold with Goldbacks – where integrity, resilience, and prosperity converge to shape the future of currency.
