Description

2024 South Dakota 1 Goldback Note $236

The 2024 South Dakota 1 Goldback Note represents a unique fusion of precious metal bullion and artistic currency, containing 1/1,000th troy ounce of 24-karat gold protected within a durable polymer coating. This specific denomination features the personification of Pax, or Peace, depicted through a Native American hoop dancer amidst a rich landscape of South Dakota wildlife, including a prominent American bison, a soaring eagle, and a wolf. The intricate black ink artwork stands out against the vibrant, shimmering gold background, accented by a green decorative border and an "Alliance of Friends" ribbon. Beyond its intrinsic gold value, the note is a "negotiable instrument" designed for local barter and trade, featuring high-security elements like a unique serial number and vacuum-deposited gold layers that make it nearly impossible to counterfeit. This piece is particularly significant as it marks the expansion of the Goldback series into the Mount Rushmore State, serving as both a collectible work of art and a practical hedge against inflation.
