5 California Goldback Alpha - Aurum Gold Foil Note (24k)
 
Virtue: Abundantia (Abundance)
Enduring Principle: “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”

The California 5 Goldback portrays Abundantia, the personification of abundance. She stands
among the rolling vineyards of Sonoma Valley, one of California's oldest and most celebrated
wine regions. These vineyards can be traced to the early nineteenth century, when some of the
region's first grapevines were planted.

Abundantia holds clusters of ripe grapes, symbolizing the rich blessings that arise from
generations of dedicated stewardship. Nearby, the state bird—the California quail—serves as a
reminder of the Golden State’s beauty and diversity. The UV layer reveals a ladybug, which has
long been considered a symbol of good luck.

Mission San Francisco Solano stands in the distance. Founded in 1823, this mission is the last
and northernmost of California's twenty-one missions. It was also the only one established
under Mexican rule following Mexico's independence from Spain.

This design celebrates the abundance that defines California's agricultural heritage. It reminds
us that true fortune is the prosperity that grows from patient cultivation. The enduring principle
reads: “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”
