10 Wyoming Goldback – Fiducia (Trust)
The 10 Wyoming Goldback introduces the virtue Fiducia—Latin for Trust—making her first appearance in the Wyoming series. She is depicted as a pioneer woman and a future settler of Star Valley, Wyoming, symbolizing the steadfast reliance on divine guidance and the enduring strength found in faith. Accompanied by the phrase “Trust in the LORD,” Fiducia walks a well-worn trail, following the footsteps of those who came before, embodying both preparation and unwavering belief.
She carries a basket of birch wood on her back—an offering of kindling for a new beginning. Birch trees, known for their resilience and early blooming foliage, have long symbolized renewal, hope, and purity. Among Native American traditions, they also represent truth and cleansing, making them fitting symbols for Fiducia’s journey. In the foreground lies a steel flint striker, poised to ignite the birch into flame—an emblem of the action, work, and care required to realize one’s potential.
Set against the backdrop of Wyoming’s iconic Split Rock formation, Fiducia is surrounded by the state flower, the Indian paintbrush, and the steadfast sagebrush, both native symbols of beauty, endurance, and faith in the face of challenge.
Two yoked oxen in the background further enrich the theme, representing diligence, cooperation, and shared burdens. Their presence also acknowledges Wyoming’s historic leadership in securing women’s voting rights, underscoring the harmony between trust and equality. Fiducia stands as a call to trust in righteousness, in providence, and in the hard-won wisdom of those who blazed the trail before us.
