2022 10 Nevada Goldback Gold Note - New

This is a 2022 Goldback

The creation of the Goldback relies on 5th generation vacuum deposition technology. The designs are printed on a sheet of polymer that is then bombarded with the correct amount of atomized gold particles in a vacuum chamber. This gold is then sealed inside by a second protective barrier of polymer, thus creating a beautiful negative image. Valaurum has been developing the process for nearly two decades and it has never been counterfeited. It is truly the most technologically advanced process for creating a physical gold money in the world today.

Obverse: The obverse features "Justicia" which is Latin for "Justice." She is shown without her traditional blindfold. This depiction of Justice is unique to Nevada where she is widely depicted as a "seeing" entity or ideal. Almost universally outside of Nevada, Justice is shown with a blindfold, which symbolizes impartiality. In this depiction she is shown holding scales in her left hand which is standard imagery. The "seeing Justice" design is emblematic of the fact that Nevada was the seat of justice in the Old West. Several other nods to Nevada history occur in the design: two firearms, a piston and a rifle along with horses and a wine barrel also appear. The word "Battleborn" appears at the feet of Justice as a way of noting that Nevada became a state during the American Civil War.

The designer of this monumental Goldback series is artist Cheri Jensen who is also responsible for the designs on the Utah Goldback series.
