1/4 Utah Goldback Gold Note

The 1/4 Utah Goldback Gold Note is part of the innovative Goldback Series - a unique, physical option for everyday transactions while also appealing to collectors. Crafted with .9999 pure 24-karat gold using advanced production techniques, each note blends beauty, history, and practicality. This product contains 1/4000th Troy oz of .9999 pure gold.

The obverse showcases Justitia, the personification of justice. In her hands, she holds scales and a sword to represent fairness and the defense of truth. A blindfold covers her eyes to show impartiality. Inscribed on her belt is the word “Deseret,” the original name proposed for the Beehive State. The scene is set near Balanced Rock in Moab, Utah. Above, a bald eagle soars, while the UV layer reveals a rabbit clutched in its talons. Together, these elements reflect the relationship between fairness and authority. Inscribed along the bottom is the enduring principle: “Judge Righteously.”

Goldbacks are a modern 24K gold currency. Goldbacks are created with patented technology that atomizes 24-karat gold down to 1/1000th of an ounce. The gold is then layered between two polymer sheets. A standout security feature introduced in 2025, this ink reveals hidden patterns or markings when exposed to UV light—making it simple to authenticate each note quickly. The reverse features a tactile, embossed—or raised—negative image that improves authenticity and makes the design harder to duplicate. Ultra-fine printing and complex imagery on the reverse deter counterfeiting and reflect craftsmanship that parallels security-grade currencies. Each Goldback includes a unique serial number and the precise fractional gold content (in thousandths of a troy ounce), aiding traceability and verification. Goldbacks are crafted via a proprietary vacuum-deposition process. This gives a genuine gold glint that’s virtually impossible to replicate synthetically, adding another layer of inherent security.
