  • Gold Content: 1/200th of a troy ounce of pure 24k gold.
  • Design: The 5 Nevada Goldback, like others in the series, features symbolic artwork related to Nevada's history and culture. A woman, often representing a virtue tied to Nevada, is typically depicted. The design may also incorporate imagery related to the state's unique landscapes, history, or symbols. The artistry is detailed and intricate.
  • Legality: While not considered legal tender in the traditional sense of US currency, the 5 Nevada Goldback is recognized as a voluntary, local currency within Nevada. This means that businesses and individuals may choose to accept it as payment.
  • Purpose: The 5 Nevada Goldback can be used in transactions with vendors who accept Goldbacks, providing a tangible and elegant way to use gold in everyday life. It's also a popular item for collectors and those interested in alternative currencies, as well as a unique and memorable gift.
