At the United States Mint, the First Spouse Gold Coin program pays tribute to the women who stood alongside their spouses in the White House, working hand in hand as an integral part of the nation's leadership. When a President of the United States served without a First Spouse, his administration is represented in the First Spouse Series with a historic depiction of Liberty. Today, 2008-W 1/2 oz Proof US Mint First Spouse Van Buren’s Liberty Gold Coins are available to you online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
One of the defining events of Van Buren's presidency was the severe economic depression known as the Panic of 1837. It was triggered by a combination of factors, including the Specie Circular, an executive order issued by President Andrew Jackson in his final days in office, which required payment for government land to be made in gold or silver rather than paper money. This led to a credit crunch, bank failures, and widespread unemployment.
All of these 2008-W 1/2 oz Proof US Mint First Spouse Van Buren’s Liberty Gold Coins come with US Mint packaging. The coins are housed in US Mint displays with an included Certificate of Authenticity.
On the obverse of the 2008-W Proof First Spouse Van Buren’s Liberty Gold Coin, you will find Seated Liberty. As President Van Buren was a bachelor, he is represented in the First Spouse Series by the popular Liberty design of his age. Seated Liberty was created in Christian Gobrecht and featured on silver denominations of US currency from the half dime and dime to the quarter, half dollar, and dollar.
The reverse side of 2008-W 1/2 oz First Spouse Van Buren’s Liberty Gold Coin features a young Martin Van Buren. He is shown here seated by the trunk of a tree engaged in political writings. Van Buren’s family home was a known gathering place for political discourse where he grew up, helping to propel Van Buren into politics later in his life.
