2023 Florida Aurum Goldback Note 1/2 $250

2023 Florida Aurum Goldback Note 1/2 $250 The 2023 Florida 1/2 Goldback Aurum note represents a unique form of voluntary local currency containing 1/2000th of a troy ounce of physical 24-karat gold. This specific denomination features the personification of Spes, the Roman goddess of Hope, depicted as a Spanish explorer from the early 1500s kneeling beside her horse in a peaceful Florida landscape. The artwork is rich in symbolism, including a milestone marked 1513 to commemorate Juan Ponce de León's arrival and the phrase Blessed are the meek inscribed alongside the central figure. Produced using cutting-edge vacuum deposition technology, the gold is layered between durable polymer sheets to create a flexible, shimmering gold note that is intended for use as a medium of exchange in participating regions. Each note includes high-security features such as a unique serial number, intricate micro-printing, and a distinct holographic shimmer, making it both a functional bullion product and a highly collectible piece of numismatic art. Condition: The item appears to be in uncirculated, pristine condition with no visible folds, creases, or tears. The edges are sharp, and the gold foil surface retains its original luster and reflective quality. Mint: Goldback, Inc.
