Arizona 1/10th Troy OZ 24KT Gold (100)

Introducing the Arizona Goldback 100 – Celebrating Liberty Through the Navajo Code Talkers

The Arizona 100 Goldback contains 1/10th of a troy ounce of 24-karat gold and is part of the world’s first voluntary, spendable gold currency. Combining historical significance, artistic craftsmanship, and intrinsic value, this note is ideal for collectors, investors, and admirers of Arizona’s rich Indigenous heritage.

Each note is produced using advanced vacuum deposition technology, sealing .9999 fine gold within durable, flexible polymer layers. This ensures lasting resilience, beauty, and functionality for both everyday use and collection.

The Arizona 100 Goldback honors Libertas—Liberty—through the remarkable legacy of the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II. Set against the monumental red rocks of Window Rock, Arizona, the seat of the Navajo Nation, the design centers on a Navajo Code Talker in full WWII Marine uniform, radio in hand. He represents the hundreds of Navajo Marines who created and transmitted the only unbreakable military code of the war, relaying critical orders across the Pacific—from Guadalcanal to Okinawa—without a single message ever being deciphered.

Towering behind him is Libertas, a timeless embodiment of freedom and Navajo strength. Adorned with a concho belt, squash blossom necklace, and a flowing dress decorated with traditional Navajo patterns, she holds a spear representing protection and resilience. Her seven-spiked crown radiates light, uniting the universal ideal of liberty with Indigenous heritage. Eagles soar overhead, symbolizing vigilance and freedom, while Marines advance across cactus-strewn terrain, connecting their heroic service to Arizona itself.

Subtle details include the historic Iwo Jima flag and the seal of the Navajo Code Talker Museum, emphasizing the collaboration with the Navajo Nation to honor and preserve this extraordinary legacy.

Inscribed at the bottom is the tribute: “Our language was our strongest weapon.” The Arizona 100 Goldback is more than gold—it is a powerful testament to courage, freedom, and the enduring spirit of the Navajo people.
