The California 1 Goldback features Diligentia, the virtue of diligence, as a female prospector panning for gold at Sutter’s Mill. A grizzly bear and hidden UV gold nuggets celebrate California’s Gold Rush heritage.


Goldbacks resemble standard paper currency in shape but are made with thin layers of 24-karat gold. Initially introduced in Utah following the Utah Legal Tender Act of 2019, they serve as a voluntary currency, allowing transactions at the vendor's discretion. Since then, additional states have each launched their own Goldbacks in subsequent years, with California becoming the 10th state to adopt this unique form of currency.

Currency Highlights:

  • Contains 1/1000 oz (0.001 oz) of .999 fine gold.
  • Individual notes are housed in an currency sleeve or sealed pouch.
  • Face: Features Diligentia, the embodiment of diligence, depicted as a female prospector kneeling in the waters of Sutter’s Mill in Coloma, California. She holds a gold nugget as she joyfully pans the river, capturing the excitement of the 1848 gold discovery.
  • Manufactured in the United States of America.


Celebrate California’s legendary Gold Rush and the virtue of diligence with this beautifully detailed 1 Goldback. Featuring 24K gold foil, historic Sutter’s Mill imagery, and hidden UV details, this unique note is a distinctive addition to any Goldback collection.
