The U.S. Mint’s First Spouse Gold Coin Program is a series of coins commemorating the spouse of American Presidents in the order in which they served in the White House. In cases where bachelors or widowers came to that office, they are represented in this program by a symbolic connection to Lady Liberty instead, using a design connected with a coin issued during that President’s term. One such was Thomas Jefferson, who has been a widower for close to two decades when he became President in 1801, and whose Liberty matches Robert Scot’s design from the Draped Bust Half-Cent coin issued from 1800 through 1808. The 2007-W 1/2 oz Proof US Mint First Spouse Jefferson’s Liberty Gold Coin is available for online purchase from JM Bullion.

Thomas Jefferson is widely known for his unparalleled gifts with the quill, a man whose writings and advocacy for principles such as freedom of thought, speech, and religion had played a role in igniting the American Revolution, and who had even authored the Declaration of American Independence that unequivocally set the process in motion. He was not shy about these achievements, and precisely detailed how they would be memorialized on the funeral monument that appears on this coin.
The 2007-W Proof US Mint First Spouse Jefferson’s Liberty Gold Coin ships in an elegant box package with a Certificate of Authenticity. It is a proof-quality coin that showcases the cameo effect of mirrored background fields contrasted with frosted raised details.
The coin’s obverse field features a bust of Lady Liberty in the graceful design known from the Draped Bust Half-Cent. She is accompanied by the inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST – 2007,” and “3RD PRESIDENCY.”
The reverse field features Jefferson’s funeral monument as seen on the grounds of the Monticello estate, overlaid by an inscription of his complete epitaph. This is accompanied by the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “$10,” and “1/2 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD.”
