3 California Goldback (Graded MS-70 2026 Limited Early Release)

Description

California 3 Goldback LER – Harmonia (Harmony)

The California 3 Goldback Limited Early Release features Harmonia, the virtue of Harmony, in a design inspired by California’s famous coastline, surf culture, and connection to the Pacific Ocean.

Harmonia is portrayed as a surfer riding a powerful ocean wave, representing balance, confidence, and the ability to move with the forces of nature rather than against them. The scene reflects California’s long association with surfing and the outdoor lifestyle that has developed around its beaches.

A dolphin swims beside the surfer, reinforcing themes of cooperation, movement, and connection with the natural world. Overhead, brown pelicans, California’s official state bird, fly along the coast and add another distinctly Californian element to the artwork.

In the distance stands the Santa Monica Pier, one of the best-known landmarks along the Southern California coast. Its inclusion ties the design to the state’s beach culture and its enduring relationship with the Pacific.

Under UV light, an additional marine detail is revealed as a sea turtle appears beneath the waves. This hidden element adds depth to the scene while celebrating the diverse wildlife found along California’s coastal waters.

Together, the surfer, marine life, coastal scenery, and hidden UV artwork express the meaning of harmony: finding balance, adapting to changing conditions, and moving forward with confidence.

Along the bottom of the design appears the enduring principle:

“Courage means you don’t let fear stop you.”

For collectors of California Goldbacks, the California 3 Goldback LER Harmonia stands out as an unusual denomination combining surf culture, Pacific Coast imagery, California wildlife, and hidden UV details.
