First Spouse Coin Program

Produced by the United States Mint beginning in 2007, the First Spouse Coin series introduced a new program to coin collectors and investors which commemorates the great women of the Oval Office. This program compliments current program which issues the Presidential $1 Coin honoring the historical Presidents Of The United States. This release gives the United States an opportunity to honor America's remarkable first spouses through the release of 1/2 ounce $10 gold coins detailing their likenesses, released in the order that they served the nation as first spouse.

The First Spouse Coin has an obverse design featuring realistic portraits of the first spouses of the United States. Inscripted on the coin's front are the spouses’ names, the year the coin was issued, the order and years during which the term(s) were served as the First Spouse. The inscriptions 'In God We Trust and 'Liberty' are also included on the obverse. The reverse of each coin shows a design that is reflective of the spouse's life and historical role. Inscriptions on the reverse include E Pluribus Unum - The United States of America - $10 - .9999 Fine Gold - 1/2 OZ. The composition and content of each bullion coin will be a 24-karat, 0.9999 fine gold, similar in makeup to the current Buffalo Gold Bullion coin.

On the few occasions that a President served in office without a first spouse, the coin is released instead with an image of Liberty depicted on the obverse as she may have been featured on a coin that was in circulation at that time, along with symbolic images on the reverse representing themes of that particular President's influence on the White House, society, or culture.
 
The United States Mint has let it be known that there will be no release featuring the coins in a set and will be offering them for sale on a piece-by-piece basis, with both proof and uncirculated versions being made available, with their release corresponding to the release of the Presidential Dollar coins. 

The Mint has also announced that it will be releasing duplicates of each of the First Spouse coins in bronze medal versions also.
