Goldbacks make gold spendable in amounts too small for any coin to handle. Each note seals a measured layer of 24 karat gold inside a polymer substrate, producing currency that can be folded, carried, and passed hand to hand without losing its metal. The 5 Goldback holds 1/200 troy ounce of gold, five times the base denomination, and the Florida issue pairs it with artwork drawn from the state’s age of sail.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 1/200 troy ounce of 24K gold
- Metal: Gold, vacuum-deposited in a continuous layer within the note substrate
- Denomination: Five Goldbacks, Florida series, dated 2025
- Design: A woman in a tricorn hat charting a course, with ships under sail behind her
The artwork fills the note in deep gold and sepia tones. A woman stands at a chart table in a tricorn hat and a fitted coat over a laced bodice, long hair falling past her shoulders, a pendant at her throat and a compass or timepiece at her waist. Before her lie an open map, a spyglass, and a lit lantern whose flame is picked out against the darker foreground. Behind her, two square-rigged sailing ships stand under full canvas in a harbor, their masts and rigging drawn in fine line against a heavy sky. The inscription Bravery conquers the unknown appears in script beneath the composition.
Ornamental guilloche borders frame the artwork on all sides. 5 and FLORIDA GOLDBACKS run across the top with Negotiable Instrument beneath, and FIVE anchors the bottom edge. The left margin carries the Aurum mark, the individual serial number, and the GB seal dated 2025. Along the base, the note declares that it contains 1/200 TROY OUNCE 24K GOLD, exchangeable by Goldback, Inc. for US gold coins on demand.
Notes ship new and uncirculated. The polymer substrate resists tearing and moisture, and the gold layer sits sealed within the material rather than printed on the surface.
