1/2 Goldback - Arizona

The Goldback is a gold note containing a small amount of 24 carat gold layered between protective film, with artwork that differs by state and denomination.

This 1/2 Goldback celebrates Arizona's spiritual heritage through the virtue of Fides (Faith). The design features a contemplative young woman in traditional Spanish dress, holding a candle that symbolizes the enduring light of faith brought by the region's earliest missionaries. Surrounding her, the Sonoran Desert flourishes with native flora and fauna—blooming cacti, a roadrunner, elf owl, and spiny lizard—alongside a lemon tree representing the agricultural legacy of the missions. White doves ascend toward San Xavier del Bac, the iconic "White Dove of the Desert," anchoring this tribute to Catholic heritage and the transformative influence of Spanish settlement in the Southwest.

The 1/2 Goldback of Arizona is a unique gold product that can serve as a currency in certain jurisdictions or a barter tool elsewhere. With thousands of local currencies and gold products available, the Goldback stands out by combining both. A unique collectable and a talking point for any gold or note collector.
