Symbolism & Design:
The obverse of the 10 Wyoming Goldback showcases Fiducia, meaning Trust. She is depicted as a pioneer woman, walking the worn path of those who came before her, exercising faith and preparation as she follows her beliefs. The phrase “Trust in the LORD” is inscribed, reinforcing the theme of trust and perseverance.
Alpha Goldbacks are the first Goldbacks produced in a new series, marked by a small α (alpha) symbol next to the mintage date. The Wyoming Alpha Series is a limited first-edition collectible, with only a few manufactured. This rarity, combined with the distinctive Alpha symbol, makes them highly sought after and valuable among collectors and investors.
- Fiducia carries a basket of birch wood, symbolizing hope, renewal, and the cleansing of the past for new beginnings. Birch wood, often used for newborn cribs, represents the nurturing of future potential.
- A steel flint striker in the foreground represents the work and effort needed to ignite new beginnings, surrounded by Indian paintbrush and sagebrush.
- Split Rock, a famous Wyoming landmark, stands in the background as a symbol of the journey and the challenges faced along the way.
- Yoked oxen represent hard work, cooperation, and equality, a nod to Wyoming’s history as the first state to grant women the right to vote.
This beautifully crafted note captures the spirit of resilience, trust, and determination that defines Wyoming’s pioneering history. Whether for collecting, investing, or voluntary transactions, the 10 Wyoming Goldback is a meaningful way to own physical gold in an innovative and artistic form.
