"The United States is honoring our Nation's first spouses by issuing one-half ounce $10 gold coins featuring their images in the order that they served as first spouse. The United States Mint issues First Spouse Gold Coins on the same schedule as the Presidential $1 Coins issued honoring the Presidents. The 2011 First Spouse Gold Coins feature Eliza Johnson, Julia Grant, Lucy Hayes and Lucretia Garfield. The First Spouse Gold Coin obverses (heads sides) feature portraits of the first spouses, their names, the order and years of their term as first spouse, the year of minting or issuance, IN GOD WE TRUST and LIBERTY. Each coin has a unique reverse (tails) design featuring an image emblematic of that spouse's life and work, as well as the inscriptions THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, $10, 1/2 OZ. and .9999 FINE GOLD. When a President served without a first spouse, as did James Buchanan, a gold coin is issued bearing an obverse image emblematic of Liberty as depicted on a circulating coin of that era, and a reverse image emblematic of a theme of that President's life. The coin is inscribed with the years and order of that President's term. Bronze 2010 First Spouse medals in the 1-5/16" size are also being produced. They bear the same central images as the gold coins, and are inscribed with the name of the first spouse, the order and years of their term as first spouse. The Liberty obverse designs are inscribed with the years and order of the President's term." — usmint.gov
