1/2 Idaho Goldback 1/2000 Troy Ounce 24K Gold

1/2 Idaho Goldback 1/2000 Troy Ounce 24K Gold The 1/2 Idaho Goldback represents the smallest denomination in the series, containing exactly 1/2000th of a troy ounce of physical 24-karat gold. This innovative currency utilizes advanced vacuum deposition technology to sandwich a precise layer of atomized gold between two protective polymer sheets, resulting in a durable and flexible note that is both a collectible and a local medium of exchange. The artwork features the personification of Gratia (Grace), depicted as a Native American woman carrying a child in a cradleboard against a rugged Idaho landscape with mountain peaks and Appaloosa horses. This specific design symbolizes the importance of family and the nurturing of future generations. Each note is individually serialized and includes multiple security features, such as a unique holographic shimmer created by the physical gold itself. Because these are minted with a specific weight of gold, they carry intrinsic value that fluctuates with the spot price of the metal, making them a popular choice for those looking to hold physical gold in highly divisible, spendable increments. Condition: The item appears to be in uncirculated, pristine condition with sharp edges, vibrant colors, and no visible signs of wear, folding, or creasing. The polymer surface remains clear and the gold layer is intact.
