Arizona Goldback® 50 Goldback Bundle

Arizona 50 Goldback — One-Twentieth of a Troy Ounce of Real Gold, Depicting Courage

The 50 Goldback is the denomination that most Goldback users describe as the “working note” of the series — large enough in gold content to represent a genuinely meaningful exchange unit in gold-denominated transactions, accessible enough in total cost to circulate practically among participating Arizona merchants. At 1/20th of a troy ounce of .9999 fine 24-karat gold, the 50 Goldback carries exactly half the gold content of the 100 Goldback and five times the gold of the 10 Goldback.

Courage — the virtue depicted on the 50 Goldback — is among the most universally recognized virtues in classical tradition: the quality that enables action in the face of difficulty, that underlies all other virtues in Aristotelian ethics, and that has been depicted in numismatic and currency art for centuries. The 50 Goldback’s original commissioned Courage artwork represents the series’ second-highest denomination with the visual weight appropriate to that significance.

For collectors, the 50 Goldback is often acquired in pairs alongside the 100 Goldback — their combined 3/20oz gold content provides meaningful total gold value in the distinctive Goldback format. For transactional users in Arizona’s accepting merchant network, the 50 Goldback functions as a high-value exchange note for larger purchases where a single 100 Goldback would represent excess. Fresh Desert Gold Co. carries all denominations as an official Goldback® Authorized Distributor.

Q: How much gold is in a 50 Goldback?
A: Exactly 1/20 of a troy ounce — 0.05 troy oz — of .9999 fine 24-karat gold. This is precisely half the gold content of a 100 Goldback and five times the gold of a 10 Goldback.

Q: What virtue is depicted on the 50 Goldback?
A: Courage — depicted through original commissioned artwork created specifically for this denomination. Each Arizona Goldback denomination features a distinct virtue in original artwork: the 50 Goldback’s Courage design is among the most detailed and symbolically significant in the series.

Q: Is the 50 Goldback better for collecting or using?
A: Both. As a collector piece, the 50 Goldback is an essential part of a complete Arizona denomination set. As a transactional note, it is one of the most practical denominations for daily use at accepting Arizona merchants — valuable enough for meaningful exchanges, accessible enough for regular circulation. Goldbacks serve both purposes simultaneously, which is part of their unique character.

Q: How does the 50 Goldback compare to a 25 Goldback in gold content?
A: The 50 Goldback contains exactly twice the gold of the 25 Goldback — 1/20 oz versus 1/40 oz. The linear gold content scaling is one of the defining features of the Goldback denomination system: every denomination contains exactly its numerical multiple of the 1/1000 oz base unit.

Q: How is the 50 Goldback shipped?
A: Ships in protective packaging inside tamper-evident outer packaging in a discreet, unbranded box. Fully insured. Live tracking. Signature required on delivery.
