As noted by the mint,

"The second coin in this magnificent series represents Truth, the principle of being and acting truthfully. The allegorical personification of Truth is depicted as a glad-winged figure, holding a mirror in her right arm, symbolic of self-truth. Between her stands a child bearing a palm branch, whom she comforts demonstrating the role of us all to protect the innocent.

Inspired by the six virtues found on the Victoria Memorial situated outside Buckingham Palace, our second design in the series features a detailed depiction of the allegorical figure Truth, surrounded by the text, VINCIT OMNIA VERITAS (Truth Conquers All)."
