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.

About the California 1 Goldback
The California 1 Goldback depicts the virtue Dilignetia, or diligence, as a female prospector. She kneels in the waters of Sutter’s Mill in Coloma, California, joyfully panning the river. In her hand, she holds a gold nugget, and under a UV light, more can be seen glimmering beneath the water. The scene captures the excitement of the historic 1848 discovery that ignited the California Gold Rush.
In the background, a grizzly bear—featured on California's state flag—stands as a reminder of the frontier spirit that defines the Golden State. Along the bottom is the enduring principle: “Diligence is the mother of good luck.”
