Product Description
The 50 Goldback Libertas is the top of the South Dakota series, containing 50/1000th oz of 24K gold. This design brings together classical Liberty imagery with South Dakota’s natural wonders and cultural heritage.
Libertas (Liberty) is depicted in the style of the Lady Freedom statue in Washington D.C., armed with a raised sword and shield to defend freedom. Her shield has the state motto and sun symbol, her helmet is inspired by Roman goddesses Minerva and Bellona. The scene includes South Dakota’s most famous landmarks: Mount Rushmore, the Needles in Custer State Park and the State Capitol.
Deep cultural elements are woven into the design: a bison skull painted with the Lakota Sioux Medicine Wheel honors the Dakota, Lakota and Nakota people and represents hope and healing. The Medicine Wheel sits atop freesia flowers for peace and friendship. The foreground shows everyday liberty with a walleye fisherman at Palisades State Park. The footing “Stand Fast in Liberty” is a reminder and a charge. Every detail was carefully crafted to make not just currency but a representation of how freedom grows when cultural heritage and democracy come together.
