Artwork Description ----

The Florida 100 Goldback features Libertas (Liberty), the capstone virtue that concludes each
state series. She stands as a powerful symbol of freedom, a pursuit that is both timeless and
universal. Inspired by the story of Cuban immigrants fleeing oppression in the 1950s and 1960s, Libertas pulls a weathered ship through turbulent waters, embodying the resilience needed to overcome adversity.

Broken chains in her hand represent struggles overcome, while her seven-pointed crown reflects the hope for liberty across the globe. The Cape Florida Lighthouse serves as a beacon of hope, mirroring the landmark that welcomed many Cuban exiles. On the shoreline, sea turtle hatchlings symbolize resilience, and shells reflect protection. Above, a rocket honours Florida’s space legacy and the Apollo 11 mission, with a footprint in the sand commemorating humanity’s first step on the moon.

Together, these elements celebrate Florida as a refuge and a place of boundless possibilities, reminding us that the human spirit always strives for liberty and new horizons.
