Product Details

These South Dakota Goldback foil notes contain 1/1000 oz .999 fine gold. Goldbacks are the first local, voluntary currency to be made of a spendable, beautiful, physical gold.


Goldbacks resemble standard paper currency in shape but are made with thin layers of 24-karat gold. Initially introduced in Utah following the Utah Legal Tender Act of 2019, they serve as a voluntary currency, allowing transactions at the vendor's discretion. Since then, additional states—Nevada, New Hampshire, and Wyoming—have each launched their own Goldbacks in subsequent years, with South Dakota recently becoming the fifth state to adopt this unique form of currency.

Currency Highlights:

  • Contains 1/1000 oz (0.001 oz) of .999 fine gold.
  • Individual notes are housed in an archival quality currency sleeve.
  • Face: A depiction of Pax is shown on the obverse field of each 1 South Dakota Goldback note. Pax is Latin for peace as well as the Roman goddess of peace. She’s seen holding a group of five rings and she’s surrounded by an array of animals. Flowers are shown at the bottom of the design field as a mountain range completes the design on top of the note.
  • Back: Mirror image on the reverse of the gold note.
  • Manufactured in the United States of America.
