What Makes the Half Goldback So Unique?
May 27, 2025
Fractional Gold in the Smallest Quantity Yet
Gold coins have been a trusted savings tool for centuries. Since 2000, gold coins have become unaffordable for many potential buyers, with the popular one-ounce coin rising in price from under $300 to more than $3000 in the last 25 years. Historically, most people have been unable to afford investing in precious metals, restricting the practice to wealthy or well-connected individuals. Gold coins have always been expensive, leading to silver and copper historically serving the role of “small change.” Those days are gone, thanks in part to the Half Goldback.
The Half Goldback sells for under $5, making it the smallest unit of gold available on the market. Gold coins can only be so small, limiting the ability to manufacture fractional quantities.Even the conventional 1/10-ounce gold coin is tiny, despite containing 200 times more gold than the Half Goldback. Containing1/2000 troy oz. of 24k gold, the Half Goldback is the culmination of considerable research and innovation. No comparable product exists in the market. The ability to harness such a minuscule amount of gold and contain it in a physical product is a technological marvel. We pushed our groundbreaking manufacturing equipment to the limit to develop this product. The Half Goldback is yet another example of Valaurum’s commitment to research and development of new, innovative products amid a changing industry landscape.
As inflation continues to rise and the threat of a global recession looms, more and more people are turning to precious metal investment. In addition, many Goldback enthusiasts use these bills as an alternative currency, with more and more businesses accepting Goldbacks as a form of payment across the United States and beyond. With Goldback as our trusted partner, we’re making investment in gold more accessible than ever. This product is just the latest example of our ongoing commitment to democratizing gold ownership.
