Gold Medallion. Commissioned by the Jubilee Committee in 1897, these gold pins were created by Tiffany & Company of New York at a cost of $10 each and were presented to the surviving pioneers of 1847 by Gov. Heber M. Wells. Surrounding the central portrait of Brigham Young are four bees, a beehive, a locomotive with the date 1897, a pony express rider, and a covered wagon with the date 1847. In enamel around the edge reads "Utah Semi-Centennial / Pioneer Jubilee." This text was mainly in blue enamel, except for the pins for the few surviving pioneers who came in Brigham Young's original company. The text on those pins is white, as in this one for Isaac Perry Decker who was one of the two young boys in the first group of emigrants who arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847. The pin is shown here with its original box and velvet pad.
