Created by the United States Mint to commemorate the Presidential spouses who built legacies in and through the White House, the First Spouse Gold Coin Program ran from 2007 through 2016. The twenty-seventh entry in the series focused on Helen Taft, the First Lady of President William Howard Taft. Known as an active First Lady, she supported the creation of the First Ladies Collection at the Smithsonian Institute. She also played a role in developing Washington’s Tidal Basin park, having a bandstand built there for the Marine Band to perform on Sundays and personally planting the first two Japanese cherry trees there. The 2013-W 1/2 oz Proof US Mint First Spouse Helen Taft Gold Coin pays her tribute in pure gold, now available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The mayor of Tokyo gifted a set of Japanese cherry trees to the American people in 1912, and Mrs. Taft was instrumental in making the trees a signature element of the Tidal Basin national park in Washington. The site of her first planting of the trees is now a landmark all its own, and the centerpiece of an annual National Cherry Blossom Festival. This makes the cherry blossom a natural choice of motif for a Helen Taft collectible coin.
The 2013-W Proof US Mint First Spouse Helen Taft Gold Coin is available to you in an attractive wooden case, nestled in velvet and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Its proof finish, produced by multiple strikes with hand-polished dies, shows mirrored background fields with frosted raised details.
The obverse field features the name and portrait of Helen Taft. She is accompanied by the “W” mint mark of the West Point Mint and the inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “2013,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “27th 1909 – 1913.”
The reverse field features a cluster of cherry blossoms accompanied by the lettering “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “$10,” and “1/2 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD.”
