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—Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, South Dakota, Florida and Oklahoma—have each launched their own Goldbacks in subsequent years, with Arizona recently becoming the seventh state to adopt this unique form of currency.

Currency Highlights:

• Contains 1/200 (0.005 oz) of .999 fine gold.
• Individual notes are housed in a currency sleeve or sealed pouch.
• Face: The Arizona Five depicts a law woman representing justice, courage and order in Tombstone, Arizona at the 1881 O.K. Corral gunfight.
• Made in the USA by Goldback Inc., using proprietary Aurum® technology to create durable, gold-backed currency.

About the Arizona Five Goldback
This Arizona Goldback design honors the virtue Lex et Ordo (Law and Order) through a vivid depiction of Tombstone, Arizona, one of the most storied towns of the Old West. The artwork draws inspiration from the 1881 gunfight at the O.K. Corral, when the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday faced off against the Cochise County Cowboys—a showdown that lasted less than a minute but became legend.

At the center of the design stands a determined law woman, embodying the spirit of Lex et Ordo. She strides forward with Virgil Earp’s U.S. Marshal badge pinned proudly to her chest, symbolizing courage, justice, and the steadfast pursuit of order amid chaos. Her composure reflects the discipline and restraint that true law and order demand.

The background features the O.K. Corral sign, grounding the scene in Tombstone’s historic streets. A Gila monster crawls across the dusty earth, representing the danger and unpredictability of frontier life. Nearby, desert daisies bloom—a subtle nod to Doc Holliday’s famous retort, “You’re a daisy if you do.” Together, these elements connect Arizona’s law-and-order legacy to the moral virtue it represents: integrity in the face of adversity.

Along the bottom edge of the note is engraved the enduring principle:
“Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.” — Wyatt Earp
