Condition: This item appears to be in uncirculated, pristine condition with sharp corners, straight edges, and no visible signs of wear, folding, or creasing. The surface remains bright and reflective. The mint is Valaurum, utilizing their proprietary vacuum deposition process to create a thin layer of metal between protective polyester layers. The metal content is confirmed by the inscription as 1/4000th Troy Ounce of 24K gold. Historical context: Goldbacks were first introduced in 2019 as a local, voluntary currency designed to be used as a medium of exchange backed by physical gold. This specific Idaho note features the figure of Justitia (Justice). The strike type is an Aurum gold film technique rather than a traditional coin strike. It is currently raw and ungraded.
