Five Utah Goldback – Veritas (Truth)

On the 5 Utah Goldback Design, “Veritas” or “Truth” is beautifully showcased. She embodies the spirit of a Utah pioneer, paying homage to the epic journey of Utah’s first settlers who ventured into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.

With hair tousled by the wind, she elevates a lantern in her right hand, its light radiating toward viewers. This luminance symbolizes the enlightening power of truth, dispelling the shadows of doubt one might encounter in life’s voyage. Beneath her, the inscription reads: “Walk in Truth”. Nestled in her apron’s pocket is a compass, emphasizing the importance of truth as our guiding principle.

Notably, its needle points West, a subtle tribute to the westward migration of the Utah pioneers. Clutched in her left hand are two tomes signifying written truths. These books are labeled “Judah” (symbolizing the Bible) and “Joseph” (representing the Book of Mormon). They highlight the significance these scriptures held for the Utah Pioneers, offering them direction and grounding their belief. Their unwavering faith in the divine guidance of these texts ultimately fueled their quest for religious liberty in Utah.

Veritas stands poised by a tranquil pool, with a cascading waterfall replenishing it from behind. This scene alludes to the indispensable nature of truth, paralleling our essential need for pure water. At the foot of a towering cottonwood tree, a deer, symbolic of a truth-bearer, quenches its thirst from the truth-laden pool.

The Roman emblem of the fish, linked with truth, is visible within the stream emerging from the pool. High above, an eagle soars in the twilight sky, safeguarding truth and echoing the liberties the United States provides, allowing truth to thrive. Amidst the clouds, the North Star gleams steadfastly, serving as a beacon that truth, like its unwavering light, persists even when shrouded. In this portrayal, Veritas is unshod, suggesting that the path of truth might be rugged. Yet, irrespective of its challenges, the unwavering nature of truth remains constant, often rendering its end rewards even more cherished.
