The artwork
The California 1 Goldback depicts Diligentia, or diligence, as a female prospector kneeling in the waters of Sutter’s Mill in Coloma. She holds a gold nugget, and the UV layer reveals more glimmering beneath the water. The scene captures the excitement of the 1848 discovery that ignited the California Gold Rush.
A grizzly bear from California’s state flag stands in the background, connecting perseverance and opportunity to the frontier spirit of the Golden State.
