Product Description
The 25 Goldback Fortitudine is the third and final virtue in the Nevada series and contains 25/1000th oz of 24K gold. This design illustrates the theme “Fortitude brings Victory over Vice” through classical and natural symbolism.
Fortitudine (Fortitude) is depicted as a winged figure inspired by Nike and the triumphant angels from Caesar’s Palace, blowing the first trumpet of Triumph. She wears a laurel wreath for glory and holds a palm leaf for triumph. The scene shows a bobcat pouncing on a “land crocodile” tortoise, representing victory over vice.
The backdrop is Red Rock Canyon during a rare super bloom with desert pillars rising from the flowering landscape to represent Nevada’s strength. The scene includes botanical details: flowering barrel cactus, blooming sagebrush (matching the Nevada State Flag) and a flowering joshua tree. Hidden symbols throughout the design reinforce the themes of perseverance and triumph. Every detail has been designed to create not only currency but a symbol of Nevada’s ability to thrive in adversity.
