About the Design - Pax

In her debut appearance on the South Dakota 1 Goldback Denomination, Pax, or Peace, emerges as a powerful symbol of unity and harmony.

Depicted as a Lakota Native American woman adorned in traditional regalia, Pax captivates with a mesmerizing hoop dance, inspired by a firsthand demonstration witnessed by the artist during her research in the state.

Infused with the spirit of the Lakota performer's message, Pax embodies the essence of peace, symbolized by the banner proclaiming "Alliance of Friends," representing unity and kinship among all beings.

As she gracefully dances, Pax imparts the wisdom of finding peace with all aspects of existence, transcending differences of creed, race, and age to embrace harmony with every being and element of nature.

The intricate design features sacred symbols, from the revered Bear Butte formation in the backdrop to representations of the seven sacred elements, including land, air, water, rocks, animals, plants, and fire.

Amidst the imagery, the Prairie Crocus, or Pasque flower, emerges as a poignant symbol of life's cyclical nature, inviting contemplation on the interconnectedness of past, present, and future generations.

At Pax's feet, the inscription "Seek Peace" serves as a compelling invitation to embrace unity and pursue harmony in a world filled with diversity.

Experience the transformative power of peace embodied by Pax with the South Dakota 1 Goldback Denomination, where each bill is a testament to the enduring quest for unity and tranquility.
