Five Nevada Goldback – Sophia (Wisdom)

The Nevada 5 Goldback Denomination showcases the inaugural portrayal of the Virtue Sophia, synonymous with Wisdom, presented in the visage of Athena. Symbolizing divine inspiration and evolution, Sophia is enveloped by an array of emblems and innovations intrinsic to Nevada.

Among them are the edifices of the University of Las Vegas and the University of Nevada, the quartz mill from the State Seal, a vintage Hoover Dam helmet, a collection of books and scrolls, and notably, works by Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain). Other symbols encompass a wagon wheel, pen and ink, a silver mine car, and the State’s No. 40 Locomotive. A salient feature is a scroll displaying excerpts from the 15th Amendment, underscoring Nevada’s pioneering move to endorse it, ensuring voting rights irrespective of race.

Adorned in her iconic battle attire, Sophia wears a lifted helm, arm protectors, and a breastplate and is equipped with her shield and lance. Wisdom’s emblematic owl is depicted on the gorget around her neck. In her grasp is a pickaxe, nodding to the mining heritage pivotal to Nevada’s growth.

As is customary in Nevada Goldback designs, a pillar is present, and here Sophia stands atop an open tome, supported by the pillar, inscribed with the Great Seal of Nevada’s credo, “All for Our Country.” Other symbols woven into the design include Nevada’s Mountain Bluebird and the White Pine, referencing the scenic White Pine County on Nevada’s eastern border.
