Description
Virtue: Prospicientia (Foresight)
Enduring Principle: “Look Forward.”
The New Hampshire 10 Goldback presents Prospicientia, the embodiment of foresight, poised confidently atop a cannon overlooking the Atlantic coastline. Behind her rises Fort Constitution (formerly Fort William and Mary), anchoring the scene in a pivotal prelude to the American Revolution.
This moment recalls the quick action taken by New Hampshire Patriots after an early warning ride by Paul Revere. Learning that General Thomas Gage intended to seize the fort’s weapons cache, local revolutionaries displayed remarkable foresight. They rallied hundreds of men from Portsmouth and nearby towns, arriving in time to overwhelm the small British garrison of six soldiers. Amid live cannon and musket fire, the Patriots captured 16 cannons, roughly 100 barrels of gunpowder, firearms, and ammunition, and lowered the British flag—an act considered one of the first bold moves of the Revolutionary War.
In the foreground, Prospicientia’s calm, assured demeanor conveys the power of readiness and strategic thinking. Symbols enrich the scene: a humpback whale breaches the Atlantic waters, the USS Raleigh—one of the original Continental Navy ships—sails nearby, and a version of the “Appeal to God” flag nods to New Hampshire’s early resistance. Together, these elements illustrate how foresight and decisive action can shape history.
Engraved beneath her, the phrase “Look Forward” invites viewers to embrace preparedness, vision, and thoughtful anticipation in every endeavor.
