For those constantly seeking new ways to buy gold, the Utah Goldback Series might just be the perfect solution. The Utah Goldbacks were actually devised as a private-issue barter note with exceptional affordability as a result of the number of different small gold weights. The notes range in weight from 1/1000 oz to 1/20 oz for these 50 Utah Goldbacks.
Each 50 Utah Goldback Gold Note in this product listing is available to you new from the producing mint and comes with a plastic sleeve to house the note. These notes resulted from the passage of the Utah Legal Tender Act of 2011. This resulted in the recognition of certain types of gold as a valid currency only within the state of Utah only.
Individual businesses in the state of Utah make their own call whether or not to accept Utah Goldback Gold Notes. In the case of cash-based business, roughly 40-50% of Utah small businesses actually accept the Goldback Gold Notes as currency for transactions. This series of gold notes solved a big problem facing gold owners: the value of pieces. Individual 1 oz gold coins might be worth as much as $1,500 in gold, making it tough to spend those on small purchases such as toilet paper or groceries in a worst-case scenario.
The obverse side of 50 Utah Goldback Gold Notes includes an image of Libertas, or Liberty as she is well-known in the United States. Libertas was the Roman goddess and personification of Liberty. During the late stages of the Roman Republic, she was politicized and used on coins of the empire.
In this design, she stands in a natural setting with a torch in her right hand and a chalice in her left, holding both high up over her head. The thin nature of these gold notes results in no distinctive design on the reverse, only the mirror image of the design from the obverse. Aurum gold notes are produced by Valaurum in the United States of America using 24-karat gold.
