The First Spouse Gold Coin Program from the United States Mint created a unique idea for the exceptions when there was a President who served his term in the White House without a First Spouse.  This exception was applied to the creation of  the Thomas Jefferson edition, who had lost his beloved wife Martha in 1782, nineteen years prior to becoming the third President of The United States.

The First Spouse Gold Coin program arranged for the issuance of a design featuring Liberty as originally presented on a United States coin in circulation during that President's era. In the case of Thomas Jefferson’s term as President, the program chose a representation of Liberty as she appeared on Chief Mint Engraver Robert Scot's Draped Bust Half-Cent coin design, which had been in production between the years of 1800–1808.

The coin's reverse features an image of Jefferson's Burial Monument located at his estate in Monticello, as sculpted by Mint designer/engraver Charles Vickers. The coin also references Jefferson's self-written epitaph, noting many of his most famous accomplishments.
