Product Details

The California ¼ Goldback features Justitia, the embodiment of justice, with scales, a gavel and books. Poppies, California dogface butterflies, and Yosemite landmarks complete the design, with hidden UV artwork revealing water in her scales.


Goldbacks resemble standard paper currency in shape but are made with thin layers of 24-karat gold. Initially introduced in Utah following the Utah Legal Tender Act of 2019, they serve as a voluntary currency, allowing transactions at the vendor's discretion. Since then, additional states have each launched their own Goldbacks in subsequent years, with California becoming the 10th state to adopt this unique form of currency.

Currency Highlights:

  • Contains 1/4000 oz (0.00025 oz) of .999 fine gold.
  • Measures 1.99 inches x 3.228 inches.
  • Notes are housed in an currency sleeve or Packs of 100.
  • Face: Showcases California-inspired imagery, including poppies, California dogface butterflies, and Yosemite National Park landmarks Half Dome and El Capitan. Under UV light, water appears in Justitia’s scales, symbolizing the continual effort required to uphold liberty and justice. The inscription reads, “To delay justice is injustice.”
  • Manufactured in the United States of America.

About the California 1/4 Goldback
The California ¼ Goldback features the virtue Justitia. In one hand, she raises the scales of justice. In the other, she rests a gavel atop a stack of books. California’s state flower and insect—poppies and California dogface butterflies—are woven throughout the scene. In the background, Half Dome and El Capitan place the scene in Yosemite National Park. Under UV light, the artwork reveals water filling Justitia’s scales to illustrate the effort required to uphold liberty and justice. Along the bottom, the inscription reads “To delay justice is injustice.”

Customer Reviews

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"

We also felt safe and comfortable at their shop, thanks to the double doors and security guard."
