1/2 - Half Goldback

Spes (Hope)

The Florida Half Goldback honors the virtue “Spes” (Hope) through the figure of a Spanish conquistador, kneeling before the mythical Fountain of Youth. She wears the fleur-de-lis emblem, representing the era of exploration when France briefly established a foothold in Florida with the Huguenots’ settlement of Fort Caroline near present-day Jacksonville. The settlement was later overtaken by the Spanish in 1565. 

The year 1513 is etched in stone nearby, commemorating Juan Ponce de León’s voyage to Florida. He was inspired by Timucua legends of a spring believed to restore youth. This scene weaves together history and myth, portraying the conquistador’s hopeful quest for the rejuvenating spring and symbolizing humanity’s enduring pursuit of renewal and possibility.

Although Ponce de León never founded a settlement, his expedition paved the way for Spain’s continued exploration, culminating in Pedro Menéndez de Avilés founding St. Augustine in 1565—the oldest permanent European settlement in the United States. Set within a lush, tropical landscape, the artwork features Florida’s Zebra Longwing butterfly, a symbol of transformation. The resilient mockingbird, signifying perseverance, reflects explorers’ ambitions and the beauty of the New World.

A Florida Cracker horse—first introduced by the Spanish and later designated as the state’s official horse—stands beside Spes, symbolizing the endurance required on such treacherous journeys. At the water’s edge, a conch shell pays homage to the Timucua, whose heritage was deeply connected to the land and sea. The shell, used in rituals and communication, honors Florida’s indigenous culture that thrived before European contact.

This artwork, rich in symbolism, highlights the universal quest for renewal. The enduring principle, “Blessed are the meek,” honors those who humbly explore the unknown. It celebrates Florida’s history and the lasting legacy of St. Augustine as the birthplace of European settlement in the United States.
