The obverse showcases Harmonia, the virtue of harmony, in a striking and symbolic scene. She appears as a modern interpretation of Artemis—the Greco-Roman goddess of wilderness and hunting—holding a taut bow with an arrow ready to release. Above her, a crescent moon rises in a cloudy sky, a symbol of healing and illumination. Around her are native South Dakota wildlife: Canada geese in flight, pronghorn antelope, mule deer antler sheds, and ring-necked pheasants. Her belt is adorned with diamonds and stylized feathers. This richly detailed design weaves together nature, tradition, and the ideal of balance.

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.
