The Wyoming 10 holds 1\/100 of a troy ounce of 24-carat gold and builds its entire design around preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe artwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis denomination gives the series another debut: \u003cem\u003eFiducia\u003c\/em\u003e, or Trust. She appears as a pioneer woman and future settler of Star Valley, Wyoming, following the worn path of those who went before her, and the note carries the phrase \u003cstrong\u003e\"Trust in the LORD\"\u003c\/strong\u003e. Her preparations are the point — she is shown doing the practical work needed to protect and follow her faith while trusting in Deity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSplit Rock, the famous formation, sits behind her. On her back is a basket of birch wood cut as kindling:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirch trees stand for hope and new beginnings, thanks to their year-round beauty and their early foliage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn some local Native American cultures the tree also carries meanings of truth and the cleansing of the past for a fresh start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose associations are why birch wood has traditionally been used to make cribs for newborn babies, and the same feeling is intended here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood is stored potential. In the foreground, surrounded by Indian paintbrush and sagebrush, a steel flint striker supplies the other half: the action and the labour required to spark a first flame, which then has to be tended before the new beginning amounts to anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe yoked oxen carry hard work, shared burdens, consistent effort, cooperation and equality — and in particular they nod to Wyoming's historical milestone of granting voting rights to women. Between the two, the design asks the viewer to follow Fiducia's example: trust what is right, and trust the example and counsel of those who went ahead of you, as the way to reach your full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this note suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 1\/100 troy oz the 10 is where a Wyoming set starts to carry real weight. Ten of these hold a tenth of an ounce of gold between them, so it suits a buyer who wants meaningful metal in the series without buying the largest denominations, and it is a common choice for someone consolidating a pile of smaller notes. The 14.28 cm format is also the point at which the illustration becomes genuinely readable in the hand, which makes it a strong gift or display note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is unchanged. You are paying a significant premium over the spot gold price for the artwork, the format and the work that goes into a Goldback, and a Britannia, a Sovereign or a bar will beat it comfortably on gold per pound spent. Choose the 10 because you want this specific object, not because you want the cheapest gold available.\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.
