Design & Symbolism

The obverse depicts Prospicientia, the Roman allegory of providence, seated gracefully on the barrel of a cannon with her legs crossed. Behind her, a whale leaps from the harbor, symbolizing foresight and guidance through uncertain waters. This imagery reflects the colonists’ belief in divine providence as they embraced the cause of independence from Great Britain.

The reverse side shows only a mirrored outline of the obverse design, without the enhanced photorealistic details — a consistent hallmark of all Goldback notes.

Historical Context

While New Hampshire saw no large-scale battles during the American Revolution, its role was pivotal. In January 1776, New Hampshire became the first colony to establish an independent government, taking a bold stand against British rule months before the Declaration of Independence. The only military engagement in the colony was the raid on Fort William and Mary, where rebels seized gunpowder, small arms, and cannons that were later used in the fight for freedom.

The inclusion of Prospicientia in this design highlights how the American colonists drew inspiration from the idea of providence — trusting that their cause was guided and supported by a higher power.

Quality & Craftsmanship

Each 10 New Hampshire Goldback is crafted with thin sheets of 24-karat gold carefully fused between layers of durable polymer. This process produces a flexible yet lasting note that can circulate as a voluntary currency. Each note arrives brand-new in protective sleeves, ready for both collecting and everyday use.
