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.
