Dolley Madison is credited with saving important State and Cabinet Department papers, plus the famous portrait of George Washington painted by Gilbert Stuart, as the British troops bore down on the White House in 1814. It is this patriotic act which is memorialized on the reverse of her First Spouse gold coin.
