"Can we somehow find the courage and that steadfastness of purpose which characterized the pioneers of a former generation? Can you and I, in actual fact, be pioneers today? A dictionary defines a pioneer as "one who goes before, showing others the way to follow." Oh, how the world needs pioneers today!" The Pioneer Trek Coin was created to highlight some of the key principles and values that can be gleaned from the Pioneers who pulled handcarts across the plains in search of Zion more than 150 years ago. This coin is intended to be given as a physical reminder that each of us is a pioneer in his own life, often in his own family, and many of us pioneer daily in seeking to do God's will. These challenge coins have great personal value to both men and women of every age and they provide a certain piece of mind simply by having it with you. This Pioneer Trek coin design incorporates on side one a scene of a family with two small children pushing forward with strength as storm clouds form on the horizon. Side two depicts the scene that occurred on an icy river crossing when a young boy carries a young pioneer girl through the frozen waters. Other symbolic design elements are used to inspire, strengthen, and illustrate doctrine and lessons learned. Other symbolic design elements are also used to encourage thoughtful pondering.
