cor forte
Explanation:
Literally, 'valorous heart'.

The literal translation would be, 'cor e fortitudine factum', 'a heart made out of valour' (ablative of material), but this perhaps sounds too cumbersome.

Nor can one simply translate 'cor fortitudinis' (genitive of quality or description), since classical Latin doesn't allow this construction unless the genitive is modifed by an adjective, e.g., 'cor magnae fortitudinis', 'a heart of great valour'.
