The United States Mint introduced the First Spouse series to commemorate the women who served as First Ladies of the United States. However, when it came to the 2012 release for President Chester A. Arthur’s term, there was no First Lady to feature. Instead, the Mint made a historic decision by selecting suffragist Alice Paul to be honored in the series. Today, JM Bullion offers the 2012-W 1/2 oz US Mint First Spouse Alice Paul Gold Coin.
Coin Highlights:
President Chester A. Arthur is not represented in the First Spouse Series by his partner as his wife, Nell Arthur, passed away in 1880, more than a year before he ascended to the presidency after the assassination of President James A. Garfield. President Arthur became one of only a handful of American presidents to serve as a bachelor or widower.
All 2012-W 1/2 oz US Mint First Spouse Alice Paul Gold Coins are presented in perfect condition. As an MS70-graded piece, it boasts original mint luster with no visible imperfections. Alice Paul remains the only woman in the First Spouse Series who was not married to a U.S. President. Included in the slab is a label that was hand-signed by David Hall, a co-founder of the Professional Coin Grading Service.
The obverse of the 2012-W US Mint First Spouse Alice Paul Gold Coin features a detailed portrait of Paul, recognizing her crucial role in the suffrage movement. While Paul is widely regarded for her influence in the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, she also authored the original Equal Rights Amendment in 1923 and spent the entirety of her life advocating for women’s equality as an essential, constitutional right.
On the reverse of 2012-W 1/2 oz First Spouse Alice Paul Gold Coins, a suffragette is depicted marching forward with a “VOTES FOR WOMEN” sash draped across her chest while carrying an American flag.
