Martha Washington's First Spouse coin reverse depicts her sewing a button onto her husband's Continental Army officer's jacket. Martha was well-beloved by the soldiers during the Revolutionary War because she demonstrated a great deal of care and concern for them and their needs, and was known to intercede with her husband on their behalf at times. Thus has she earned the appellation, "First Lady of the Continental Army."

Martha Washington's First Spouse coin was designed by Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Susan Gamble, and engraved by U.S. Mint sculptor-engraver Don Everhart.
