The Design
It is standard for all Goldback Notes designs to showcase a feminine figure symbolizing a particular virtue.
The Arizona 1/2 Goldback depicts “Fides,” which translates to “Faith.” It celebrates faith through the story of Arizona’s early Spanish missionaries, who brought light, belief, and cultivation to the desert.
A young woman holding a candle embodies this steadfast faith, surrounded by desert wildlife, a lemon tree, and the iconic Mission San Xavier del Bac. Her Spanish attire and cross signify Catholic devotion, while Psalm 27:1 ties the composition together: “The Lord is my light.”
The “1/2” monetary denomination is engraved beside “ARIZONA GOLDBACKS.” The note’s weight and metal content are at the bottom.
The note displays design elements on the obverse, leaving the reverse blank and mirroring only those on the obverse.
Goldback Notes
A Goldback, also known as a foil note, is a voluntary regional currency used for trade and payment in select areas of the United States. These beautifully crafted notes are currently issued in Utah, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, South Dakota, Florida, Oklahoma, and Arizona.
While not considered legal tender, Goldbacks hold intrinsic value as bullion, thanks to the layer of 24-karat gold carefully embedded within a durable polymer film.
Resembling traditional paper money in shape, each note’s denomination, ranging from 1/2 to 100, corresponds directly to the precise amount of gold it contains, from 1/1000th troy ounce up to 1/10th troy ounce.
