{"product_id":"idaho-25-goldback","title":"Idaho 25 Goldback","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"575\"\u003eGoldbacks are a privately issued, voluntary form of local currency produced from a thin layer of 24-karat gold secured between durable polymer layers. Each note contains a precisely measured fractional amount of physical gold and features detailed artwork tied to regional identity. First introduced in Utah, the series has expanded into multiple states, combining the intrinsic value of gold with a functional, exchangeable format. The Idaho Goldback Series continues this expansion, with each denomination reflecting themes connected to the state’s history and development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"577\" data-end=\"968\"\u003eThe 25 Idaho Goldback Gold Note contains 1\/50 Troy oz of .9999 fine gold and represents a mid-range denomination within the series. Each note is produced using proprietary vacuum-deposition technology and incorporates advanced security features for authentication. This denomination offers a balance between fractional flexibility and increased gold exposure for both collection and holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"hh82lx\" data-start=\"970\" data-end=\"993\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"974\" data-end=\"993\"\u003eNote Highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"994\" data-end=\"1435\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1d0sm47\" data-start=\"994\" data-end=\"1063\"\u003eArrives in a protective plastic sleeve or bundled in sets of four\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"bm4kx4\" data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1119\"\u003eMid-range denomination in the Idaho Goldback Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"p0frc0\" data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1164\"\u003eContains 1\/50 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"l9gpe9\" data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1223\"\u003eFeatures an Idaho-specific design centered on Scientia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1uc1n61\" data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1305\"\u003eObverse highlights a female scientist connected to nuclear energy development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1pkyyxd\" data-start=\"1306\" data-end=\"1382\"\u003eIncludes UV-reactive elements, micro-printing, and unique serial numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"imam6\" data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1435\"\u003ePlease note: Goldbacks are not U.S. legal tender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"14u1m2r\" data-start=\"1437\" data-end=\"1463\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1463\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1927\"\u003eThe obverse of the 25 Idaho Goldback Gold Note features a female scientist representing contributions to nuclear energy development. The design references work conducted at the Experimental Breeder Reactor I (EBR-I) near Arco, Idaho. On December 20, 1951, EBR-I became the first nuclear reactor to generate usable electricity. The site is part of the Idaho National Laboratory system and is recognized for its role in early nuclear research and energy production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1929\" data-end=\"2367\"\u003eThe figure represents Scientia, the classical allegory of knowledge and learning. In historical tradition, Scientia symbolizes disciplined understanding developed through observation, reasoning, and study. It is often associated with tools of inquiry and measurement. The integration of this allegory with Idaho’s role in nuclear innovation connects the note’s design to themes of discovery, technical advancement, and intellectual rigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2369\" data-end=\"2826\"\u003eEach 25 Idaho Goldback Gold Note is presented in new condition in an individual protective sleeve, with multiples of four available in bundled format. These notes are interchangeable with other Goldback series issues and offer a fractional gold format suited for both collectors and long-term holders. The Idaho release continues the expansion of Goldbacks as a physical gold product with defined weight, consistent design, and verifiable security features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2828\" data-end=\"2954\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor additional details or wholesale inquiries, contact:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2883\" data-end=\"2886\"\u003eMetalStacks Collectors Club\u003cbr data-start=\"2913\" data-end=\"2916\"\u003e561-529-3001\u003cbr data-start=\"2928\" data-end=\"2931\"\u003e\u003ca data-start=\"2931\" data-end=\"2954\" data-is-last-node=\"\" class=\"decorated-link cursor-pointer\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003esupport@metalstacks.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metalstacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47953942151413,"sku":"MSID25GBCAT15","price":212.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/4444\/9781\/files\/MSSTACK4-1_17.png?v=1775500755","url":"https:\/\/metalstacks.net\/products\/idaho-25-goldback","provider":"Metalstacks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
