Florida 1/2000 Troy Ounce 24k Goldback $130

Florida 1/2000 Troy Ounce 24k Goldback $130 This Florida 1 Goldback represents a unique fusion of precious metals and functional currency design, containing exactly 1/1000th of a troy ounce of physical 24-karat gold protected between layers of durable polymer. As part of the first-ever gold currency series for the state of Florida, this 2023-dated note features the virtue Spes, or Hope, depicted as a female figure in Spanish-style explorer's armor resting alongside a horse, symbolizing the state's early history and the legendary search for the Fountain of Youth. The intricate artwork includes symbolic elements such as a monarch butterfly and local flora, all rendered in a high-resolution vacuum deposition process that gives the note a brilliant, metallic sheen. Each note is a privately issued, voluntary local currency that is technically spendable at participating merchants or can be held as a fractional bullion investment. Special features include a unique serial number for authenticity and a design that is naturally resistant to counterfeiting due to the specialized Aurum technology used in its creation. Condition: The item appears to be in Uncirculated (UNC) or Gem Uncirculated condition, showing sharp edges, no visible creases, and a bright, reflective surface typical of new Goldbacks. It is a modern, privately issued gold bullion note. Mint: The note is produced by Valaurum using their patented vacuum deposition process. Metal Content: The note contains 1/1,000th of a troy ounce of 24-karat gold, as indicated by the text on the note specifying 1/1000th Troy Ounce 24K Gold. Historical Context: This is a 1 Florida Goldback, part of a local currency series designed to be used as a voluntary medium of exchange. The Florida series was launched in 2023. The artwork features the virtue Spes (Hope), depicted as a Spanish explorer to reflect Florida's history, along with native flora and fauna like the Florida panther and orange blossoms.
