Description: You will receive 2 $1 Goldbacks with this purchase. These Nevada Goldbacks Will Put Some Gold Back In Your CollectionThere’s a voluntary unit of local currency that exists in Nevada called “Goldbacks,” 24-karat gold foil notes that are crafted in increments of 1/1000th of an ounce of highly pure 99.9% gold. Though not officially recognized by the United States government as legal tender, many local merchants and vendors are already accepting this new form if currency as payment. What’s more, they can be accepted in other states that allow the usage of these intriguing and beautifully designed notes.Wafer-Thin Gold Foil Currency NotesEach wafer-thin note is coated with a protective plastic cover so it can be circulated, exchanged and used without the gold tearing. They’re meant to be used just like cash to purchase items. If you travel through Nevada, you’ll probably even see signs that say “Goldbacks Accepted Here” to let you know these fractional gold units can be spent just like any other form of legal-tender currency. Anyone can own Goldbacks, even if they aren’t a resident of Nevada.Representations Of Allegorical FiguresNot only is each Goldback crafted in increments of 1/1000th of an ounce of pure gold (1 Aurum), but they are also fabulous examples of the engraver’s art—and the larger the denomination, the bigger the note. The design on each denomination features an allegorical depiction of one of the lady virtues and combines her with distinct symbols representing different aspects of Nevada history and culture.The 1 Aurum 1/1000th-oz gold note offered here features a new slightly, altered design for 2023. The major change for 2023 includes wording that says “Specie Legal Tender Instrument” instead of “Voluntary Local Currency” that appeared on prior notes. The design shows the allegorical figure of Caritas—Lady Charity—represented in the form of Mother Mary. She is depicted next to a pillar while two cherubs place a crown on her head. At her feet is a candle and a jar of oil. The candle she is holding is the Candle of Charity. The image is based on art from St. Augustine’s Catholic Church in Austin, Nevada. The state’s oldest Catholic Church, St. Augustine’s was founded in 1866. A pair of Pheasants can be seen in the foreground while woven into the bottom of Charity’s dress is the word “LOVE.”Go For The Gold Today!Not just a novelty item, each Nevada Goldback Note can be melted down for their precious metal content if its owner would rather have a solid gold piece.
