Gold Aurum 24k Arizona 1 Goldback Note
The Arizona 1 Goldback Note marks the eighth release in the Aurum Mint’s Goldback Series.
Each Goldback Note is made with 24-karat gold and serves as a voluntary, spendable form of currency accepted by select merchants across certain U.S. states. While not recognized as legal tender by the federal government, participating businesses may honor them based on their intrinsic gold value.
Since debuting with the Utah Goldback in 2019, the series has expanded to represent Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, South Dakota, Florida, Oklahoma, and now Arizona.
The Arizona 1 Goldback Note, containing 1/1000 troy ounce of 24k gold, is currently available for purchase at SD Bullion.

The Design
It is standard for all Goldback Notes designs to showcase a feminine figure symbolizing a particular virtue.
The Arizona 1 Goldback features “Temperentia,” which translates to “Temperance,” honoring the Mexican period in Tubac after 1821 and highlighting the fusion of Indigenous, Spanish, and Mexican cultures that define Arizona’s heritage.
Centered on a woman in traditional dress before Mission San José de Tumacácori, the artwork surrounds her with state emblems and desert wildlife, symbolizing balance and harmony. Inspired by Galatians 5:22–23, it reminds viewers that “the fruit of the Spirit is temperance.”
The note displays design elements on the obverse, leaving the reverse blank and mirroring only those on the obverse.
Goldback Notes
A Goldback or a foil note is a voluntary regional currency accepted as payment in specific locations within the United States. Utah, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, South Dakota, Florida, Oklahoma, and Arizona are states that have issued goldback notes.
These notes are not legal tender. However, they are valued as a bullion item because of the 24k gold paint applied to a plastic film.
Despite being shaped like regular currency notes, they range in weight from 1/1000 oz to 1/10 oz, and their denominations, which can range from 1/2 to 100, are proportional to the amount of gold they contain.
