1 New Hampshire Goldback – Gratia (Grace)
The 1 New Hampshire Goldback features the allegorical figure Gratia, or Grace, portrayed for the first time in the Goldback series. Embodied as an Abenaki woman from the Algonquin peoples—native to the New Hampshire region—Gratia stands in front of a traditional wigwam, adorned in ceremonial attire and beadwork. She is accompanied by a river otter, a symbol of resourcefulness and the joy found in the present moment, both qualities that align with the virtue of Grace.
This denomination carries layered symbolism, blending Abenaki heritage with Judeo-Christian traditions. The scene illustrates elements of the Jewish Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) and the American Thanksgiving holiday—each represented by meaningful items such as the shofar trumpet, corn, beans, a pumpkin, chestnuts, and a beehive in the tree symbolizing honeycomb. These details reflect seasonal abundance and cultural gratitude.
Gratia is depicted gathering chestnuts, a metaphor for effort and harvest, with the inscription “Give Thanks” beneath her. The unopened chestnuts serve as a deeper allegory for the unfulfilled potential and the foundational labor of America’s forebears. This nod to Thanksgiving is further anchored by New Hampshire’s own Sarah Joseph Hale, who played a pivotal role in establishing Thanksgiving as a national holiday.
In the background, ancient artifacts and monolithic structures—often referred to as “American Stonehenge”—emphasize New Hampshire’s rich, pre-colonial legacy, reinforcing the region’s deep-rooted cultural and spiritual history.
