CCAC-Picks-2009-First-Spouse-Designs CCAC Picks 2009 First Spouse Designs

Designs for 2009 First Spouse gold coins and bronze medals were considered at the Citizen Coin Advisory Committee meeting April 22.

Images of the First Spouse coin designs viewed at the meeting can be seen on Page 23, identified by codes used by the committee.

For the Anna Harrison coin, CCAC preferred designs AH-O-02 for the obverse and AH-R-02 for the reverse. First Lady Harrison was a supporter of education and an avid reader, and the reverse design reflects these attributes.

The committee selected LT-O-04 and LT-R-03 for the Letitia Tyler coin. She suffered ill health and spent most of her time on the family's plantation caring for their eight children. She died in 1842, about a year and a half into her husband's Presidency.

President John Tyler wed again while in office, in 1844, marrying a woman named Julia Gardiner. For the Julia Tyler coin, the CCAC singled out designs JT-O-03 and JT-R-01. The reverse design shows President Tyler handing the First Lady the gold pen he used to sign papers annexing Texas to the United States, an action she had helped achieve.

No designs from the era in place of a non-existant spouse? Guess the extra coin makes up for it.

John Tyler had two wives while in office(first wife died in 1842, married second in 1844) and all of the other Presidents being issued in 2009 had wives as well. There is only one more Liberty to be issued, for James Buchanan in 2010.
