This marks the fifth year of the First Spouse Gold Coin Series, the United States Mint’s first coin program to feature our Nation’s first spouses. A minimum of four one-half ounce, 24-karat $10 gold coins will be minted and released annually in the order the spouses served in the position. The coins are minted in proof and uncirculated qualities and are available individually. Each First Spouse Gold Coin coincides with the release of the corresponding circulating Presidential $1 Coin. In 2011, the United States Mint will release four coins in the series - Eliza Johnson, Julia Dent Grant, Lucy Hayes and Lucretia Garfield.

The obverse of this coin was designed by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Susan Gamble and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Don Everhart. The reverse was designed by United States Mint Associate Designer Barbara Fox and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Joseph Menna.
