25 Utah Goldback 1/40 oz of .999 Gold - 24K Fine Gold

These Utah Goldback notes contain 1/40 oz of .999 fine Gold which is the first local, voluntary currency to be made of a spendable, beautiful, physical Gold. The 25 Goldback Design depicts the Lady Virtue Victoria, or Victory, primarily in celebration of Women’s rights to vote. This is actually the first Goldback design to ever have been done. It was the artist’s audition piece for the series. Victory bears a banner that states “Votes Counting Since 1870”, nodding to the fact that when Utah became a state, women were already voting by that time. The first state to have a woman actually cast a vote was Utah (Seraph Young was the voter), though as a state, Wyoming granted women’s suffrage a few months prior to that. This Goldback design was created by keeping many of the firsts in mind that women in Utah have done, such as women teaching over the pulpit and Martha Hughes Cannon becoming the first woman State Senator in 1911.
