Goldback 5 Bill - New Hampshire, Veritas - 1/200th Troy Oz .9999 Gold-Minted Bill

The New Hampshire Goldback is a beautifully made currency containing 1/200th Oz .9999 fine gold. It is the world's first voluntary currency made of spendable, physical gold in small denominations. When the Utah Legal Tender Act passed in 2011, certain forms of gold were recognized as legal tender, and gold established a level of official recognition as money. The technology for minting physical gold into a spendable form for small transactions has since developed, using cutting-edge vacuum deposition technology to layer each bill with .9999 fine gold in precise quantities.

The New Hampshire Goldback features a border design change, where the denomination at the top of the bill has been moved into the border at the bottom, and a smaller denomination number is now found in the bottom right corner, in addition to being in the top left.

The Veritas design is the second appearance of Truth on a Goldback, symbolizing the light of the truth that leads to a path of safety through the fog of obscurity and confusion. Veritas is depicted wearing a colonial dress, holding a candle, and walking along a path that leads to a covered bridge over a foggy river. The covered bridge is modeled after one found along New Hampshire's Kancamagus Highway, and on Veritas's left is a purple lilac bush, the state flower, while on her right is a purple finch, the state bird.

The guardrail along the path represents how truth protects us and leads us along the path. In the background, a moose can be seen, symbolizing the steadfast standing for and protecting of truth and the use of multiple senses to identify it, even when it is hard to see.

The Goldback is a beautiful and resilient currency carrying precise pure gold between polyester layers. It is designed for small transactions, and its portability and durability make it an excellent choice for both investors and collectors. With the New Hampshire Goldback, the design change makes it even more unique, and the Veritas design reminds us of the importance of truth in our lives, guiding us along the right path. The Goldback is an excellent addition to any collection, symbolizing the value of gold and truth.
