1/100 Troy Oz. 2021 "10 New Hampshire Goldback," Bill Sleeve, Golden Life Card

Description

N
ew Hampshire became the third U. S. State to adopt the "Goldback" as a voluntary legal tender currency among agreeing buyers and retailers.
The notes are made using 24-karat gold and come with high-quality, photo-realistic designs on the obverse side. Muted colorization is also added to give each piece beautiful visuals. Within the State of New Hampshire, these Goldbacks can be used in commercial transactions with any vendor that chooses to accept them. In mid-2021 the total value of outstanding Goldbacks exceeded million and is expanding rapidly. Promoters of the Goldback emphasize its positive impact:
"
Does it make sense to purchase a lot of Goldbacks?  How does their performance stack up against other forms of gold? The answer to this question actually surprised us as we did not predict it. In 2019, the first Goldbacks retailed for .25 per unit; two years later in 2021 that price went to .80. This is about a 70% appreciation in two years, in terms of USD. Over the same period of time, the Gold Eagle only appreciated about 34%, meaning that the people who owned Goldbacks had double of the appreciation as those with Gold Eagles. The Goldback is an interchangeable currency with its own exchange rate that is dictated by the market. This means that the "50" denomination carries fifty times the amount of gold as the "1" denomination and should cost  fifty times as much. And there are thousands of people actively carrying Goldbacks around and spending them as money on a daily basis."
O
n the obverse side of 10 New Hampshire Goldback is a depiction of the personification known as
Prospicientia
, better known as
Providentia
. In the religions of Ancient Rome, she was a divine goddess with the ability of foresight. The term
Providentia
itself translates in Christian iconography as the concept of Divine Providence. In the 10 New Hampshire Goldback, she is depicted dressed in colonial era garments, perched on a cannon near the harbor, as a whale leaps from the water in the background field. The reverse face of the 10 New Hampshire Goldback is a mirror image of the
Providentia
design from the obverse field of the Aurum

note. However, there are no enhanced graphics or colorizations applied to this side of the note. The 10 New Hampshire 2021 Goldback is secured in a currency sleeve and is attached to the inside of a Golden Life Card with its "mini-bio" of the Note [see photo]. Manufactured by Valaurum, Inc., of Portland, Oregon, a company started in 2012 by Adam Trexler, this 10 New Hampshire Goldback is slightly larger than the 1 and 5 because as Goldbacks increase in face value [to 50 Goldbacks or 1/20 Troy Oz.], they increase slightly in size. The Goldback is manufactured in a process derived initially from the  computer chip industry. Vaporized gold is layered in a vacuum onto polyester substrates to create a durable but beautiful work of gold art. Each U.S. State and every denomination of Goldbacks is unique and draw upon the history and iconography of the area. These Goldback notes are rich in symbolism, many of them "hidden" from view! Your purchase also includes a colorfully designed envelope [see photo] suitable for storing the 10 New Hampshire Goldback or gifting it.
