Design & Symbolism

The obverse design highlights Gratia, one of the three Charities from Greek mythology, representing grace, charm, and human creativity. In this New Hampshire adaptation, Gratia is portrayed as an indigenous woman seated near a pumpkin at the base of a tree, with a traditional tribal home in the background. This design pays tribute to the native tribes of the New England region.

The reverse features a blank field with a mirrored outline of the obverse design, though without the full photorealistic details and colorization.

Historical Context

Goldbacks originated in Utah, following a 2011 state bill that revived gold as an optional medium of exchange. New Hampshire later became one of the first states to issue its own Goldback notes, reflecting its deep legacy of independence. Known as the Granite State, New Hampshire holds a special place in American history as the first colony to form its own independent government in January 1776, setting the stage for the Revolution.

Though not legal tender in the U.S., Goldbacks are accepted as a voluntary local currency with participating vendors in the state of issue, making them both functional and collectible.

Quality & Craftsmanship

Each note is crafted using thin layers of 24-karat gold, fused between durable polymer sheets to ensure both beauty and flexibility. These notes are brand new and shipped in protective sleeves, making them ideal for collecting, investing, or barter.
