Idaho LER 3 MS 70

Lady Virute: Laetitia (Joy) 
Enduring Principle: “Being present brings joy.” — Psalm 30:5

The Limited Early Release (LER) Idaho 3 Goldback captures the virtue Laetitia, or Joy, skiing in 
Idaho’s Smoky Mountains. Her sweater is embroidered with Idaho’s nickname, “The Gem 
State.” In the background, a chairlift ascends the mountainside, paying tribute to one of Idaho’s 
most influential innovations: the world’s first ski chairlift. 
The rest of the scene is enriched with details of Idaho’s wilderness and inventive spirit. A red fox 
moves swiftly across the snow, and a bull elk stands among the trees. A rustic cabin is tucked 
into the background to reflect Idaho’s winter recreation culture. Hidden within the composition is 
a television etched on a sign. This Easter egg honors Idaho native Philo T. Farnsworth, whose 
early vision of electronic television helped shape the modern world.
