Gold Notes

Gold Notes Available from JM Bullion

There are many ways to buy gold when you shop online. While many JM Bullion customers seek out the standard 1 oz gold options, such as gold bullion coins or minted gold ingots, there are a growing number of other options available to add diversity. Best of all, some of these additional options provide greater affordability with lower weights and distinctive designs you won’t find on other forms of gold bullion. Learn about the gold notes currently available from JM Bullion in the paragraphs below.

What is a Gold Note?

Modern gold notes are thin gold bullion items similar in appearance to paper banknotes, but with a purpose similar to gold bullion bars. The particular gold notes in this product listing are produced in a manner that is truly unique. Each gold note consists of layers of gold in between two flexible, secure polyester sheets. This creates a visually brilliant product with the secure polyester layers protecting the 24-karat gold within. Each one of the gold notes has enough gold layered in between the polyester sheets to create a product with a specific weight.

Utah Goldbacks

One of the most intriguing gold note programs available at the moment is the Utah Goldback Series. Created in the exact manner mentioned above, the Utah Goldbacks are a collection of gold notes that constitute a voluntary local currency accepted for commercial payment in the state of Utah. In order to actually use the Utah Goldbacks as acceptable currency, a vendor has to have voluntarily decided to accept the gold notes for currency in transactions. At the very least, all Utah Goldbacks are exceptional 24-karat gold bullion notes that represent an affordable means of diversifying your gold holdings.

Available weights in the Utah Goldbacks include the smallest weight of physical gold bullion produced today in the form of the 1/1000 Troy oz .9999 pure gold note. Other weights include the 1/200 Troy oz, 1/100 Troy oz, 1/40 Troy oz, and 1/20 Troy oz. Designs on these gold notes are unique per each release and include:

• 50 Utah Goldback: Liberty is depicted on the obverse of the note with a torch as a guiding light in her right hand and a chalice in her left hand. The inclusion of the chalice, representing Christ, and the natural setting are a nod to the state of Utah.
• 25 Utah Goldback: Victoria is shown on the obverse side in the form of a suffragette. Utah played a leading role in the women’s suffrage movement in the nation as one of the first two states to give women the right to vote.
• 10 Utah Goldback: Prudence is showcased on the 10 Utah gold note in the form of Justice. She wields the sword of Justice and the Scales of Balance in her hands, while the traditional blindfold depicted fair judgment.
• 5 Utah Goldback: Prudence again appears on the 5 Utah gold note, but in a different form along with Veritas. Prudence lights the way forward with a blinding light from her torch as Veritas carries texts in her left hand.
• 1 Utah Goldback: The smallest note features Prudence as an indigenous woman, a nod to the indigenous tribes located in Utah long before the arrival of American and European explorers and settlers.

Replica Gold Notes

Other examples of gold notes are those that replicate the appearance of historic banknotes from around the world and other unique designs. Once again, these gold notes are produced using the same approach with thin layers of gold between polyester sheets. Examples include:

• 1 Gram Buffalo Note: Though it does not share the exact same design, the 1 Gram Buffalo Note is inspired by a historic $10 Bison Note of 1901 which featured a large American bison on the primary face.
• 1/10 Gram 500 Euro Replica Note: This particular gold note boasts an exact replica of the design of the 500 Euro banknote. The largest banknote and denomination ever issued by the European Central Bank, this gold note accurately recreates the designs from both faces.
• 1/10 Gram Liberty Note: With a design inspired loosely by historic images of Liberty from Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this design offers a younger image of Liberty with rays of sunlight coming from behind her figure. The US Capitol Building and the US Supreme Court Building also feature behind her.
