Goldbacks solve a problem that has limited gold as spendable money for centuries: making small denominations practical. This 2 Florida Goldback holds 1/500 troy ounce of 24K gold, vacuum-deposited in a layer between polymer sheets so the metal can be handled, folded, and traded like currency. Buyers use them for small-value gold exposure, gifting, and local barter, while collectors pursue the state series for the artwork.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 1/500 troy oz of 24K gold
- Metal Type: Gold, produced using the Aurum vacuum deposition process
- Obverse Design: Allegorical figure poling a boat through a Florida wetland, titled FORTITUDO
- Reverse Design: Negative-print rendering of the same composition
The obverse shows a woman standing in a flat-bottomed boat, pole in hand, guiding it through still water. She wears a long dress with tiered ruffles, her hair pinned up, her posture upright and steady. The setting is unmistakably Florida: lily pads float across the foreground, manatees glide beneath the surface, wading birds stand among the reeds, and a thatched dwelling sits on the far bank under a flock of birds crossing the sky. The name FORTITUDO appears along the boat’s hull, and the phrase Navigate with purpose is scripted below the scene.
FLORIDA GOLDBACKS runs across the top beside a large ornate 2, with Negotiable Instrument printed underneath. The left border carries the serial number and issue notes in fine vertical text, and the GB monogram sits above the year 2025. Along the bottom, the note states that it contains 1/500th troy ounce 24K gold, exchangeable by Goldback Inc. in US gold coin on demand. TWO appears at the base, flanked by numerals in each corner. The reverse repeats the same artwork as a negative-print rendering, reversing the tonal values across the design.
Each note is new and uncirculated. Goldbacks are privately issued and are not US legal tender.
