Logan, Utah, USA Temple

History

Announced October 6, 1876, the groundbreaking took place seven months later on May 18, 1877. It was dedicated seven years later by President John Taylor on May 17, 1884 and is the only temple dedicated by him. The Saints knew from the start that a temple would be built upon the bluffs of the Logan valley. Many prophesied of it and the ground was set aside and used as a city park until it was needed for the temple. Logan Temple is one of the few temples that does not have a statue of angel Moroni atop its spires. All temples are considered to be a house of learning (see Doctrine & Covenants 88: 199), but the Logan temple’s dedicatory prayer asks that those who enter might receive a more clear knowledge, “that we may be enabled more fully to comprehend our duties, responsibilities and obligations, pertaining to all…” (Dedicatory Prayer, May 17, 1884) Perhaps a Logan Temple coin will help you remember to keep your mind open to the Spirit that you might receive greater comprehension in all things.

How Temple Coins are Made

Dave started creating jewelry using metals in 1992, ten years later he had worked with nearly every metal in the jewelry industry! Moving to Thailand, he spent the next nine years perfecting his skills with various metals, 3D models and 3D printers. He dreamed of producing something that would bring delight to purchasers and carry with it positive feelings that would touch the souls of those who owned them. In 2014 he was able to realize his dream. Returning to the US, he uses Lost-wax casting to create a metal master from brass alloy for each temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, depicting, in the highest degree of definition possible, a coin with a 3D image of a temple. The reverse of each coin is cast with the words “Stand ye in holy places.”

Purchase one or two of the temples that hold special meaning to you. Commemorate your visit to a temple by picking up the corresponding coin.
