Dolley Madison was born in Virginia in 1768 and married James Madison in September of 1794. Known for her cheerful demeanor and being a gracious host at many of her wildly popular social gatherings attended by the most influential members of society. Replacing the smaller dinners preferred by previous Presidential families with larger events which came to be known as dove parties, these functions became venues were current events could be discussed by many in a relaxed setting. 

These functions were left to the wayside for a time in 1814 as British troops made progress in it's invasion of Washington, D.C. nearly succeeded. Disregarding the warnings of city officials to flee the city, Dolley Madison stayed in her place of residence until the very last moment. When finally taking her leave of the White House, she is credited with saving many valuable items and documents including George Washington's portrait painted by Gilbert Stuart.

Honored here in the beautiful Dolley Madison First Spouse $10 Gold Coin, which features 1/2 -oz of .9999 fine gold, and depicts her heroic efforts made during that difficult time in our nation's history.

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.
