2 Arizona Goldback | Aurum Gold Foil Note (24k)

Set within the immense walls of the Grand Canyon, this scene honors the first documented journey through the canyon by boat: the 1869 Powell Geographic Expedition. At its heart is the virtue Exploratio (Exploration). In the foreground, a striking young woman embodies the spirit of exploration itself. Her boat is modeled after the sturdy vessels used in the expedition, which carried ten men into uncharted waters. Their expedition produced the first detailed records of the Grand Canyon.

In the background, Major John Wesley Powell, who led the expedition, is shown seated in his boat. Two California condors wheel high overhead while a bighorn sheep stands watch from a ledge. The canyon itself towers with striated cliffs, while the rapids at Granite Falls churn with whitewater. 

This artwork celebrates the enduring spirit of discovery that defines Arizona. Etched on the bottom of this note is scripture “Let us not grow weary. ” — Galatians 6:9
