She wears a veil pulled back from her face, because the Justices of the Peace watching over Nevada's Wild West wanted anyone breaking the law to understand that Justice sees everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe artwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe virtue is \u003cem\u003eJustitia\u003c\/em\u003e, Justice, in her second appearance as a Goldback virtue. She is patterned after the statue of Justice on the Storey County Courthouse in Virginia City, Nevada, where she was given open eyes rather than a blindfold. The pillar to her right is the artist's rendition of the pillars on that same building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe stands on a pillar engraved with the word \u003cstrong\u003e“Battleborn”\u003c\/strong\u003e, taken from the language of the state flag and Nevada's status as a state born during the Civil War. Below that sits a badger beside native mesquite trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe setting is specific rather than generic. Wild horses run in the distance, and beneath the mountain range lies Pyramid Lake in southeastern Washoe County, an elongated inter-mountain basin ringed by the Lake Range to the east, the Virginia Mountains to the west, the Pah Rah Range to the southwest, and the Fox Range and Smoke Creek Desert to the north.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree further details are worth finding:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA six shooter and a 30-30 rifle in the foreground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA wine barrel stamped with the brand “Cup Bearer Wine, Cana Dry Red”, which carries a specific meaning within the wider artwork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandhill cranes in the background.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this note suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 holds 1\/100 of a troy ounce of 24-carat gold, twice the metal of the 5, and it is the point on the Nevada ladder where the premium per gram starts to ease. Collectors building the series usually add it early, and it frames well if the artwork is what you are buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it is not is a cheap way to buy gold. At this weight the premium over the gold price remains high, and a Britannia, a Sovereign or a bar will always give you more metal for the same money. The 10 earns its keep as a collectable that happens to contain real gold, not as bullion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUK buyer notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYard Mint supplies Goldbacks from UK stock. They are treated as VAT-exempt investment-gold wafers, so there is no VAT to add at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoldbacks are not UK legal tender. They can be bought, owned, sold, collected and voluntarily exchanged where both parties agree, but no UK business is required to accept one. They also do not share the Capital Gains Tax exemption that applies to Britannias and post-1837 Sovereigns, which are sterling currency. VAT and CGT are separate questions with different answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResale depends on the gold price, the condition of the note and buyer demand at the time. A collector premium is not guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is general information, not personal tax or investment advice.
