Design & Symbolism
The obverse of the 10 Arizona Goldback Gold Note features Virtus, the female personification of valor and strength, riding with the Buffalo Soldiers of the U.S. Army’s 10th Cavalry Regiment. This unit, composed of African American soldiers led by white officers, served with distinction at Fort Huachuca from the 1910s through 1933.
Known for their discipline, horsemanship, and bravery, the Buffalo Soldiers patrolled the Mexican border during the revolutionary era and participated in the pursuit of Pancho Villa. Despite enduring segregation and discrimination, their courage and professionalism earned them enduring respect and numerous commendations.
In the background stands Fort Huachuca, founded in 1877 amid the rugged Huachuca Mountains of southeastern Arizona. Initially established as a defensive outpost during the Apache Wars, the fort evolved into a key military site, later serving as a training and intelligence center whose legacy continues today.
