Artwork Description ----

The Arizona 50 Goldback honours the discovery of Pluto in 1930 at Lowell Observatory in 
Flagstaff, Arizona. The artwork personifies the virtue Curiositas, or Curiosity, through a young woman gazing skyward with wonder. She holds a book embossed with Pluto’s symbol in her 
right hand and a telescope in her left.

Behind her, the iconic observatory dome rises under a star-studded sky. A vintage newspaper clipping on the table recalls the headlines that once proclaimed Pluto as the ninth planet. Above, Pluto itself appears alongside its moon, Charon—a reminder that discovery often reveals more than we first expect. This enduring principle is written along the bottom: “Be still and trust God.”
