Each goldback bill has .9999 fine gold in exacting quantities. Goldback bills carry a precise amount of pure gold between layers of polyester which makes them resilient and durable.
 
The centerpiece of the 25 Nevada Goldback is the image of Fortitudine, embodying the Virtue of Fortitude. Drawing inspiration from Nike, the Greek winged goddess of Victory, Fortitudine wears a laurel wreath upon her head, symbolizing glory. In her left hand, she holds a palm leaf, representing triumph. This design also incorporates various symbols associated with the state of Nevada.
 
Fortitudine's depiction pays homage to the trumpeting angels adorning the walls of Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. She stands as the herald of Triumph, sounding the first trumpet. Notably, the design features pillars rising from the desert, symbolizing Fortitude's role in uniting and safeguarding Nevada and its people throughout history. The scene is further enriched with elements like barrel cacti, blooming sagebrush (also seen on Nevada's State Flag), Joshua trees in full bloom, and other hidden symbols. Providing a breathtaking backdrop is the majestic Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas.
 
An underlying theme of this artwork is "Fortitude brings Victory over Vice," a concept vividly illustrated by the image of a bobcat pouncing on a "land crocodile," representing the triumph of Fortitude over obstacles and vices.
Goldbacks, including the 25 Nevada Goldback, serve as a versatile means of exchange and can be utilized in barter transactions with anyone who recognizes the inherent value of gold. These intricately designed gold-backed bills combine aesthetics with practicality, offering a tangible representation of wealth and embodying the virtues they portray.
 
Whether in the realm of commerce or as a symbol of individual value, the 25 Nevada Goldback stands as a testament to the enduring power of Fortitude and the significant role of gold in shaping our monetary landscape.
