¼ California Goldback Gold Note — 1/4,000 troy oz · 99.9% pure 24k gold
Real gold for under $3, and the entry note of the California series.
Each note holds exactly 1/4,000 of a troy ounce of .9999 fine 24k gold, physically embedded through a patented vacuum deposition process that took over 20 years to develop. You are 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, Goldbacks carry a premium over raw spot price. That premium pays for the precision manufacturing that makes spendable fractional gold possible at this scale, and no one else has mastered the process. It also reflects real utility: this gold circulates rather than sitting in a vault. Goldbacks have appreciated an average of ~14.47% annually since their 2019 launch.
The ¼ California Goldback carries the virtue Justitia. She raises the scales of justice in one hand and rests a gavel atop a stack of books in the other. California poppies and California dogface butterflies wind through the scene, while Half Dome and El Capitan set it in Yosemite National Park. Hold the note under UV light and water fills Justitia's scales, showing the effort that upholding liberty and justice demands. The inscription along the bottom reads "To delay justice is injustice."
