100 Arizona Goldbacks (1 Pack)

What Is the 100 Arizona Goldback?

The 100 Arizona Goldback is a fractional gold currency note containing exactly 1/10 troy ounce of .9999 fine 24-karat gold. Manufactured by Aurum, the note is produced through a vacuum deposition process that vaporizes pure gold and bonds it at the atomic level onto a durable polymer substrate. The result is a thin, flexible note that holds a precise amount of real gold.

The 100 Arizona Goldback features Sophia, the classical virtue of Wisdom. As the highest standard denomination in the series, the 100 note carries imagery representing knowledge, enlightenment, and the accumulated experience of Arizona's history. The design connects the state's ancient past to its present, honoring the indigenous wisdom that preceded statehood and the modern judgment required to preserve real wealth. The reverse includes UV-reactive security features and a serial number.

The Arizona Goldback series celebrates the Grand Canyon State's independent spirit, desert beauty, and pioneering legacy. Each denomination features unique artwork inspired by Arizona's rich Native American heritage, frontier history, and stunning natural landscapes, from the saguaro-studded Sonoran Desert to the majestic red rocks of Sedona.

100 Arizona Goldback Value and Gold Content

Each 100 Arizona Goldback contains exactly 1/10 troy ounce of .9999 fine 24-karat gold. The gold is permanently bonded to the polymer substrate and cannot be separated without destroying the note. The gold content is consistent across every note of this denomination, verified by the manufacturing process.

The 100 Arizona Goldback is the largest standard denomination in the series, containing a full 1/10 troy ounce of .9999 fine 24-karat gold. The per-ounce premium on the 100 note is the lowest of any denomination in the series, making it the most efficient way to acquire gold in Goldback form. For investors focused on maximizing gold content per dollar spent, the 100 note offers the best value. It also serves as the centerpiece of a complete Arizona Goldback collection.

How the 100 Denomination Compares

Arizona Goldbacks come in eight denominations:

• ½ Arizona Goldback: Fides/Faith (1/20001 troy oz)
• 1 Arizona Goldback: Temperantia/Temperance (1/10001 troy oz)
• 2 Arizona Goldback: Exploratio/Exploration (1/5001 troy oz)
• 5 Arizona Goldback: Lex et Ordo/Law and Order (1/2001 troy oz)
• 10 Arizona Goldback: Virtus/Valor (1/1001 troy oz)
• 25 Arizona Goldback: Tenacitas/Tenacity (1/401 troy oz)
• 50 Arizona Goldback: Curiositas/Curiosity (1/201 troy oz)
• 100 Arizona Goldback: Libertas/Liberty (1/101 troy oz)

Each denomination contains proportionally more gold and carries a progressively lower per-ounce premium.

The 100 Goldback is the flagship denomination. It contains 1/10 troy ounce of pure gold, making it the most gold-dense note in the series. The per-ounce premium is the lowest of all denominations. This note is less practical for everyday spending and better suited for wealth storage, gifting, and investment. Compared to buying a 1/10 oz gold coin, the 100 Goldback carries a higher premium but offers the unique advantage of being spendable at participating merchants.

What You're Getting

• Gold content: 1/10 troy ounce of .9999 fine pure gold in tangible note form
• Thickness: 0.1 mm (consistent across all Goldbacks)
• Condition: New, ships in protective currency sleeve after cleared payment
• Purity: 24-karat pure gold vacuum-deposited onto polymer
• Denomination: 100 Goldback (voluntary currency, not legal tender)
• Manufactured by Aurum using proprietary atomic-level gold deposition technology

The Premium Reality

As with all Goldbacks, the Arizona 100 Goldback carries a premium above spot gold price. Higher denominations like this one offer better premium efficiency — more gold per dollar spent. Manufacturing costs don't scale linearly with gold content, so you get superior value per ounce of gold with larger notes.

Design Breakdown

Arizona's designs draw from the state's deep connection to the American West, incorporating symbols of liberty, resilience, and natural grandeur that define the Arizona experience. The 100 Arizona Goldback features intricate artwork that tells a story unique to this denomination. Every Goldback note is a miniature work of art — the gold layer catches light and creates a visual effect unlike any other currency product. The design reflects the Hundred denomination's place in the Arizona series, with imagery scaled and composed to suit the note's value and purpose.

How to Use It

• Spend at participating merchants accepting Goldbacks
• Trade peer-to-peer for goods and services
• Gift as an introduction to fractional gold ownership
• Stack as part of a diversified precious metals portfolio
• Collect for artistic and numismatic value
• Hold as inflation-resistant store of value

Storage and Preservation

Store your Arizona 100 Goldback in its protective sleeve. Keep in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The polymer is durable, but the gold layer can be damaged by sharp objects or repeated folding. For collections, use dedicated Goldback storage: wallet, album, or archival box.

Should You Buy It?

The Arizona 100 Goldback is for people who want tangible, spendable gold. This higher denomination offers the best premium efficiency in the Arizona series — ideal for stacking or high-value transactions. If you're purely focused on lowest cost per ounce, bullion bars or coins are more efficient. But if you want gold you can hold, trade, gift, and spend — in a form that's also a collectible work of art — Arizona Goldbacks deliver something no bar or coin can.

About the Arizona Goldback Series

Arizona became the eighth state to receive its own Goldback series, following Utah, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, South Dakota, Idaho, and Oklahoma. The series launched in late 2025 and features eight denominations, each depicting a classical virtue tied to a period in Arizona's history. The designs span from the pre-statehood Mexican era through the frontier period and into modern Arizona.

All Arizona Goldbacks are manufactured by Aurum, the exclusive producer of Goldback currency. The manufacturing process uses vacuum deposition to bond 24-karat gold at the atomic level onto polymer, creating a note that is thin, flexible, durable, and precisely measured. Each note also includes UV-reactive security features and a unique serial number to prevent counterfeiting.
