## The artwork

The California Limited Early Release Goldback embodies Harmonia, or harmony, through a surfer riding a powerful wave along the state’s coast. The surfer’s movement represents balance between humanity and nature.

A dolphin swims alongside the surfer, brown pelicans ride the coastal wind, and the Santa Monica Pier stands in the distance. Under ultraviolet light, a hidden sea turtle glides beneath the waves.
