50 South Dakota Goldback Gold Note — 1/20 troy oz · 99.9% pure 24k gold
Half a hundred in one note — 1/20 of a troy ounce of .9999 fine 24k gold. The 50 Goldback is a significant position in the most liquid form physical gold takes.
Each note contains exactly 1/20 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 South Dakota 50 Goldback features Libertas, the virtue of Liberty, inspired by the iconic Lady Freedom statue in Washington D.C. She stands with a drawn sword and raised shield bearing the South Dakota state motto: "Under God the People Rule." The Osage warrior shield, a peace pipe, and an olive branch are worked into her armor, balancing strength with the possibility of peace. At her feet, an American bison skull is adorned with the Lakota Sioux Medicine Wheel, a symbol of hope and healing for South Dakota's Native peoples. Palisades State Park, the State Capitol, and Mount Rushmore anchor the backdrop. Inscribed in the artwork: "Stand Fast in Liberty."
