The 5 Florida Goldback Gold Note pays tribute to Florida’s storied past during the Golden Age of Piracy, a period from the late 17th to early 18th centuries when piracy flourished along the coast. The design features a female pirate on the deck of her ship, examining charts as she navigates the treacherous waters. The phrase BRAVERY CONQUERS THE UNKNOWN is emblazoned at the bottom, capturing the daring spirit of pirates who roamed the coast. A pirate vessel, marked with the word AUDAX (Latin for bold, daring, or courageous), sails in the background, representing the fearless and spirited nature of those who ventured into the unknown.
Florida’s coastline was a key hub for piracy during this time, with notorious pirates like Black Caesar and José Gaspar using the state’s complex landscape to their advantage. The numerous islands, hidden coves, and shallow waters provided the perfect cover for launching attacks on Spanish treasure ships returning to Europe. Local pirates could easily evade pursuing naval vessels by utilizing the region's natural obstacles.
Each 5 Florida Goldback Gold Note is crafted with thin layers of 24-karat gold, fused between durable polymer sheets, ensuring both beauty and durability. The high-quality, photorealistic images on each note reflect the detailed craftsmanship of the Goldback Series.
Celebrate Florida’s legendary pirate history with this stunning 5 Florida Goldback Gold Note—a valuable addition to any collection or as a unique form of gold currency.
