She stands for divine inspiration and progress, and the design packs the space around her with Nevada's own inventions, technologies and seats of learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer armour follows the Athena convention — raised helm, arm guards and breastplate, shield and spear — with Wisdom's owl worked into the gorget at her throat. The pick axe in her hand is the Nevada addition, standing for the mining that shaped the state's development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Nevada design carries a pillar. Sophia stands on an open book supported by hers, and that pillar bears the motto of the Great Seal of Nevada, \u003cstrong\u003e“All for Our Country”\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe objects around her repay a slow look:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLibrary and university buildings drawn from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the University of Nevada.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe quartz mill from the State Seal, and an antique Hoover Dam hard helmet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBooks, scrolls, a wagon wheel, pen and ink, and works by Samuel Clemens — Mark Twain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA silver mine car and the state's No. 40 Locomotive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn open scroll bearing words from the 15th Amendment, which Nevada was first to adopt, extending equal voting rights in the state regardless of skin colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNevada's Mountain Bluebird and the White Pine finish the scene, the pine a nod to mountainous, rural White Pine County along the state's central eastern boundary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this note suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5 holds 1\/200 of a troy ounce of 24-carat gold and sits in the middle of the Nevada range. It is the note most people choose when they want one piece with real presence rather than a full set, and the larger 13.01 cm format gives a composition this busy the room it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also works as a gift, because the design carries enough detail to hold someone's attention without any explanation from you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest limitation is gold per pound spent. The premium over the gold price on a 5 is well above what a Britannia, a Sovereign or a plain bar costs you for the same weight, and that gap does not close. Buy this for the artwork and the set, not as an efficient way to own gold.\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.
