The Design
It is standard for all Golback Notes designs to showcase a feminine figure representing a cardinal virtue.

Because these Goldback Notes are very thin, the reverse design is a mirrored image of the obverse.
Goldback Notes
A Goldback is a voluntary regional currency accepted as payment in certain locations within the United States. Utah, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, and South Dakota are states that have issued goldbacks.
These notes hold no dollar 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 size from 1/1000th oz to 1/20th oz, and their denominations can vary from 1 to 50, proportionally to the amount of gold they carry.
The year of mintage may vary based on currently available supply.
