1 Arizona Goldback - Aurum Gold Foil Note (24k)

Goldbacks resemble standard paper currency in shape but are made with thin layers of 24-karat gold. Initially introduced in Utah following the Utah Legal Tender Act of 2019, they serve as a voluntary currency, allowing transactions at the vendor's discretion. Since then, additional states—Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, and South Dakota, Florida, and Oklahoma—have each launched their own Goldbacks in subsequent years, with Arizona recently becoming the seventh state to adopt this unique form of currency.

About Arizona One Goldback
Set amid the desert landscape of early 1800s southern Arizona, this artwork honors the virtue Temperentia (Temperance)—the quiet strength of balance and harmony. It reflects the Mexican era of Tubac, a formative time after Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821.

In the background stands Mission San José de Tumacácori, one of Arizona’s oldest and most significant landmarks. Founded in 1691 by Jesuit missionary Eusebio Francisco Kino, it became a cornerstone of faith and culture in the region. Under Mexican rule, Tumacácori remained a spiritual center for local families, even as reduced resources and Apache raids brought hardship. In 1752, Tubac was established as a presidio and later became part of the Mexican state of Sonora. Together, the mission and town reflect Mexico’s commitment to building strong frontier communities.

At the center stands a regal woman in an elegant 19th-century Mexican dress. Her embroidered skirt symbolizes the union of
Indigenous, Spanish, and Mexican traditions that gave Arizona its roots. Surrounding her, desert life flourishes with Arizona state symbols: the saguaro blossom blooms with resilience; the cactus wren sings with resourcefulness; and the two-tailed swallowtail drifts gracefully across the scene. A desert tortoise and javelina at her feet reflect endurance. Corn, chiles, and prickly pear honor the land’s generosity and the Mexican families who cultivated it.

Above, a Harris’s hawk soars through dramatic skies, symbolizing focus and harmony. Together, Tubac and Tumacácori remind us that Mexico’s presence shaped southern Arizona with faith, resilience, and community—a legacy still deeply felt today.

At the heart of this scene is the enduring truth from Galatians 5:22–23: “The fruit of the Spirit is temperance.”

Goldbacks
The Goldback® is a revolutionary form of currency crafted from 24-karat gold, offering a reliable alternative as the American dollar continues to lose value. Each Goldback is designed to preserve purchasing power over time, addressing the age-old “small coin problem” by allowing people to make everyday transactions with real gold. While inflation erodes the value of paper currency, the Goldback’s intrinsic gold content ensures that it will hold its worth.

Recognized as legal tender in states like Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, New Hampshire, South Dakota and Florida, Goldbacks can be traded or bartered like other non-current forms of currency worldwide. This currency blends gold’s enduring value with modern craftsmanship, providing a versatile and practical means of exchange that won’t depreciate, making it a sound choice for those seeking stability in their everyday spending.
