Introducing the world's first voluntary currency that contains pure gold, the Goldback is a beautifully crafted currency that contains 1/20th Oz .9999 Fine Gold. This innovative currency has been made possible thanks to Utah Legal Tender Act passed in 2011, which recognized certain forms of gold as legal tender, re-establishing gold as a form of money. Using cutting-edge vacuum deposition technology, each Goldback bill is layered with an exacting amount of pure gold between layers of durable polyester, making it both resilient and durable.
The latest series of Goldbacks, New Hampshire 50 Goldback Denomination Design, is particularly special. It features the stunning White Mountain National Forest and showcases Libertas or Liberty, which holds the three elements of New Hampshire's original seal, representing unity and strength. The scene behind her also features a family of whitetail deer, symbolizing the importance of unity within families to pass on the principles of liberty to future generations.
Furthermore, this design includes elements from the Pine Tree Riots of 1732-1734, which were among the first acts of the Colonial Rebellion. The rebellion resulted from British actions that appropriated the Eastern White Pines for ship masts while prohibiting the cutting down of any trees with a diameter greater than 12 inches. To fight back, the residents formed a rebellion and attacked the British sheriff and his deputies, giving the sheriff a lashing with a pine switch for each contested tree.
This New Hampshire 50 Goldback Denomination Design is the first in the series to pilot a border design change, featuring a smaller denomination number in the bottom right corner and moving the written denomination at the top of the bill into the border at the bottom.
