An Idaho 1/4 denomination Goldback fractional gold bullion note. This privately issued negotiable instrument is produced by Goldback Inc. using the Aurum vacuum-deposition process, which involves depositing a thin layer of 24 carat gold between protective polymer sheets. The design features a central figure of Justitia (Justice) blindfolded and holding scales, standing before a mountainous landscape with a monarch butterfly. The obverse is inscribed with IDAHO Goldback, Negotiable Instrument, and the serial number AL13081. Additional text includes US Patent 10781520 Privately Issued, Not US Dollar Legal Tender, and the phrase Judge righteously. The lower border identifies the gold content as 1/4000th Troy Ounce 24K Gold. The note is dated a 2026 and bears a facsimile signature of Jeremy Cordon. The reverse side displays a mirrored image of the obverse design through the translucent gold foil.

Weight: 1/4000 oz t (0.0078g)
Purity: 24 carat (.999 fine gold).
