2023 Florida Goldback 1/2000 Troy Oz Gold $130

Updated August 24, 2026

2023 Florida Goldback 1/2000 Troy Oz Gold $130 The 2023 1 Florida Goldback is a unique form of voluntary currency containing 1/1,000th of a troy ounce of 24-karat gold, though this specific fractional denomination is represented as part of the innovative Aurum series. It features the virtue Spes, or Hope, depicted as an armored woman kneeling beside a horse in a landscape reflective of Florida's natural beauty, including the inclusion of native flora and fauna. These notes are created using a specialized vacuum deposition process that layers physical gold between protective polymer sheets, resulting in a durable, flexible, and visually stunning gold note. Unlike traditional bullion, Goldbacks are designed to be used as a local commodity money for small transactions within participating regions. Each note includes advanced security features such as unique serial numbering, intricate micro-printing, and a distinctive golden sheen that is impossible to replicate with standard printing techniques, making it both a practical hedge against inflation and a highly collectible piece of numismatic art. Condition: The item appears to be in uncirculated, pristine condition with sharp corners, straight edges, and no visible signs of folding, creasing, or surface wear. Mint: The item is produced by Valaurum using their proprietary vacuum deposition process on behalf of Goldback Inc. Metal Content: This piece consists of 24-karat gold (.999 fine gold) sandwiched between layers of protective polyester. The gold content is specifically 1/2000 troy ounce. Historical Context: This is a 2023 Florida series Goldback, a local voluntary currency meant for use as a medium of exchange. The design features "Spes" (Hope), represented by a female figure in armor with a horse, incorporating Florida-specific imagery such as the Everglades and a Spanish conquistador-style helmet to reference the state's colonial history. Strike Type: This is not a traditional struck coin but rather a thin foil known as an "Aurum." It is created through a high-tech process where atomized gold is deposited onto a polymer sheet in a vacuum. Grading: The item is currently raw and ungraded. Precise grading for such items is typically handled by specialized services like PMG if they are treated as paper currency, but it does not carry an official numeric grade here.
