California Goldbacks at JM Bullion

The introduction of the California Goldback Series in 2026 brings the popular precious metals note program to the Golden State, combining fractional amounts of genuine gold with detailed artwork inspired by California. The artistic program draws from the state’s varied natural landscapes, indigenous heritage, Spanish colonial history, and the Gold Rush era that played an important role in California’s development and identity. For Goldback collectors and those with an interest in California history and culture, the California series offers a new way to experience the recognizable design and fractional gold format of the Goldback program.

The broader Goldback Series continues to evolve in its range of offerings. Like other recent collections, the California Goldback Series debuted with a Limited Early Release 3 Goldback, an option that is only available with limited supply as a preview for the broader series. The full California Goldback release will feature the new 1/4 Goldback denomination, as well as familiar denominations such as the 1/2, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 Goldback.

History of California

California’s human history stretches back thousands of years to the many indigenous cultures that lived throughout its coastal valleys, mountain ranges, forests, and desert regions. Spanish settlement began in the late 18th century, with the first of 21 coastal missions established in 1769. The region later became part of Mexico before coming under American control following the Mexican-American War. Just months later, James Marshall’s discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in 1848 helped trigger the California Gold Rush and a major wave of migration to the region. California is also known for its varied natural scenery, including its Pacific coastline, redwood forests, Sierra Nevada peaks, valleys, and expansive desert landscapes.
