Goldbacks represent a privately issued, voluntary form of local currency produced from a thin sheet of 24-karat gold laminated within durable polyester layers. Each note features intricate artwork and contains a precisely measured fractional amount of physical gold, placing Goldbacks among the few examples of spendable gold currency in modern circulation. The series began in Utah and has since expanded into additional states, combining the long-standing value of gold with the convenience of a transactional medium. The Idaho Goldback introduces another state to the program, with each denomination highlighting imagery and themes connected to Idaho’s heritage and landscape. Now, 1/2 Idaho Goldback Gold Note Sets are available online from JM Bullion.
Note Highlights:
These 1/2 Idaho Goldback Gold Note Sets come with a bundle pack of 100 notes in total. Each of the gold notes features enhanced security elements, including UV-enhanced artwork, micro-printing, and a unique serial number.
For the design of the 1/2 Idaho Goldback Gold Note, the virtue of Pietas is represented through imagery honoring Sacagawea. Sacagawea, the Lemhi Shoshone woman who served as an interpreter and guide for the Lewis and Clark Expedition, has a meaningful historical connection to the land that would later become Idaho. She was born around 1788 near the present-day town of Salmon in the Lemhi Valley. As a young girl, she was taken captive by Hidatsa raiders and eventually lived among the Mandan people in what is now North Dakota. When the Corps of Discovery traveled through Idaho in 1805, Sacagawea’s familiarity with the terrain, her ability to communicate with the Shoshone people, and her steady presence contributed significantly to the success of the expedition.
Pietas was one of the most respected virtues in Roman culture, personified as a calm and composed female figure representing faithful duty to the gods, to family, and to the state. In classical imagery, she is often depicted carrying a stork, a traditional symbol of familial devotion, or a patera, a shallow ceremonial dish used in ritual offerings. Artistic depictions sometimes include a swallow or a small altar nearby. The concept of pietas extended beyond religious devotion, describing a broader moral responsibility to honor obligations between individuals, their communities, and the divine.
