The 1/2 Florida Goldback contains 1/2000th Troy Ounce of 24-karat gold and celebrates the virtue of Spes (Hope) through the depiction of a Spanish conquistador kneeling before the mythical Fountain of Youth.

Alpha Goldbacks are the first Goldbacks produced in a new series, marked by a small α (alpha) symbol next to the mintage date. The Florida Alpha Series is a limited first-edition collectible, with only a few manufactured. This rarity, combined with the distinctive Alpha symbol, makes them highly sought after and valuable among collectors and investors.
