Utah Goldbacks

The Utah Goldback Series of gold notes were produced as a result of the passage of the Utah Legal Tender Act of 2011. The state-level act in Utah sought to establish acceptable forms of gold for use as currency within the state. Though Utah could not tell the rest of the nation what should be accepted as legal tender, it could help open the door to other forms of voluntary, local currencies. That is exactly where the Utah Goldback Notes come into play.

Each one of the Utah Goldback Notes has 24-karat gold content and weights that start at just 1/20 Troy ounce and go as low as 1/1000 Troy ounce, representing the smallest form of physical, tradeable gold bullion in the world. Vendors in the state of Utah can voluntarily opt to accept these gold notes as a valid form of currency for transactions within the state, opening a small door for golds return as a form of payment for everything from groceries and gas to houses. Even if you don’t live in Utah, you can invest in these 24-karat gold bullion notes and hold them as a valuable, affordable form of gold.

There are a total of five weights currently available in the Utah Goldback Series. Each note has its own distinctive design reflective of the state of Utah in one manner or another. The available weights and designs include:

• 1/1000 Troy ounce 1 Utah Goldback – the smallest note in the series features an image of Prudence in the dress of the indigenous tribes of Utah as a nod to those who lived in this region long before American and European settlers moved west.
• 1/200 Troy ounce 5 Utah Goldback – this note depicts Prudence once again, this time in the form of Veritas as she moves westward with a blinding light to guide the way of religious texts in her left hand.
• 1/100 Troy ounce 10 Utah Goldback – for this gold note the series depicts Prudence as Justice, once again combining personifications to showcase the value of good judgment and wise actions through the lens of fair and equal justice.
• 1/40 Troy ounce 25 Utah Goldback – Victoria appears on the 25 Utah note as a US suffragette, a representation of Utah’s leading role as just the second of the soon-to-be US states to adopt legal voting rights for women behind only Wyoming.
• 1/20 Troy ounce 50 Utah Goldback – the symbol of America, Liberty features in the design of this note as the guiding force directing people during the westward expansion of the United States.

Other Gold Notes

The Utah Goldbacks are an example of a consistent series with a unique background story, but those items do not represent the entirety of gold note production. There are other gold notes you will find available for purchase at Silver.com that include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Buffalo Note – the 1 Gram Gold Buffalo Notes take inspiration for the design of an American bison from the 1901 Bison Note issued in the United States with a $10 (USD) face value.
• Liberty Note – in a design reminiscent of the popular Saint-Gaudens Liberty image, the 1/10 Gram Gold Liberty Note features a young woman as Liberty walking toward the viewer with a torch in one hand and the buildings of the US Capitol and US Supreme Court featured in the background.
• 500 Euro Note – this particular gold note has a design element on each side directly inspired by the 500 Euro banknote, the largest denomination ever issued by the European Central Bank and one of the largest fiat denominations issued globally.

How are Gold Notes Made?

The gold notes available at Silver.com are all made through a similar production process. Small amounts of gold are put together in thin layers between two sheets of polyester. High-quality, photo-realistic images are put onto the polyester sheets with full-color effects to create gold bullion that is both secure and memorable.
