Developed in the United States, Goldbacks are thin, flexible notes containing between 1/1000th and 1/20th of a troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, vacuum-deposited onto a polymer substrate. Each denomination features intricate designs inspired by the virtues of the issuing state.

Goldbacks offer a unique way to own fractional gold at very small denominations, making them popular as gifts, educational tools, and collectibles. They are not UK or US legal tender, but they are backed by their physical gold content.

As a niche product, Goldbacks typically carry higher premiums than standard bullion coins or bars. They are best suited for collectors and those interested in the concept of physical gold currency rather than pure investment.

All Goldback purchases are subject to UK tax rules. Please consult a qualified tax advisor regarding VAT and CGT treatment.
