Issued in 2007, $10 (face value) First Spouse bullion coins are among the first .9999 fine 24-karat gold coins ever struck by the United States Mint. The obverse of the Martha Washington First Spouse coin was designed and sculpted by Joseph Menna; a United States Mint medallic sculptor who also designed and sculpted the Abigail Adams coin. The Martha Washington reverse was designed by Susan Gamble of Arlington, Virginia; an Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) Master Designer. The image was sculpted by Don Everhart; a United States Mint sculptor-engraver. The reverse design depicts the future First Lady sewing a button onto her husband's uniform jacket.
