The Martha Washington Gold Coin in the Presidential First Spouse Series

The obverse of the Martha Washington First Spouse coin depicts a woman who doesn't look very happy. I'm disappointed that the designers have elected to use unsmiling images of these historical women, and although the Martha Washington portrait isn't as bad as some of them, it's a shame that she doesn't look more vibrant here.

The obverse designer and engraver was U.S Mint medallic sculptor Joseph Menna. Learn more about the life of Martha Washington, or see the George Washington Presidential Dollar.
