1/1000 Troy Ounce 24K Goldback Texas $110
This 2025 Texas Goldback is a unique form of voluntary currency containing 1/1000th of a troy ounce of physical, 24-karat gold protected between layers of durable polymer. The design prominently features a stylized skyline of Dallas and Fort Worth, specifically highlighting the Fort Worth Stock Yards and Reunion Tower, paired with a playful Y'All Street sign. As a 1-unit denomination, it represents the smallest increment of the Goldback series, making it an accessible entry point for gold ownership and a functional tool for local barter and trade. Each note utilizes advanced vacuum deposition technology and includes high-resolution security features, such as a unique serial number and intricate linework, ensuring it is both a beautiful collectible and a verifiable store of value. While not legal tender issued by the U.S. government, these notes are widely recognized in participating regions as a precious-metal-backed alternative to traditional fiat currency.
Condition: The item appears to be in uncirculated, pristine condition with no visible folds, tears, or handling wear. The edges are sharp, and the reflective gold surface maintains its original luster without scratches or tarnishing.
Mint: Valaurum (Aurum technology) for Goldback Inc.
Metal content: 24K Gold (.999 Fine Gold).
Historical context: This is a 2025-dated Texas Goldback, part of a local voluntary currency series designed to be used as a gold-specie legal tender in participating jurisdictions. The artwork features a "Dallas Fort Worth" theme, depicting the skyline and historical elements of the region.
Strike type: Vacuum deposition of gold onto a thin polyester film (Aurum process).
