Product Details

Goldbacks are a privately issued, voluntary local currency made from a thin layer of 24-karat gold carefully laminated between durable sheets of polyester film. Each note is intricately designed and contains a precise, fractional amount of actual gold, making them one of the few spendable gold currencies in modern circulation. Originally launched in Utah, they have since expanded to several other states, blending the timeless value of precious metals with the practicality of everyday exchange. Right now, 3 Idaho Limited Early Release Goldback Gold Notes are available from Bullion Metals.

Idaho earned its nickname, the Gem State, not only for its remarkable deposits of precious and semi-precious minerals — including the rare star garnet found in few places outside of India — but also for its breathtaking natural landscape. The state’s rugged terrain encompasses towering mountain ranges, deep river gorges like Hells Canyon, vast lava fields, and dense alpine forests that together paint a picture of raw, untamed beauty. This dramatic geography has shaped Idaho’s identity as a land of both geological wonder and outdoor adventure.

In the design of the 3 Idaho Limited Early Release Goldback Gold Note, the allegorical figure Laetitia is depicted skiing down Idaho’s Smoky Mountains, with the state nickname, The Gem State, embroidered on her sweater. Laetitia, derived from the Latin word for joy or happiness, is a classical female allegory that has appeared throughout Western art, numismatics, and decorative traditions for centuries. She is most commonly depicted as a graceful, upright figure radiating an air of abundance and contentment.
