About This Coin
The 2012 First Spouse Gold is a United States coin from the First Spouse Gold 2007 to Date series. In 2012 the West Point Mint struck the year's four designs in proof and uncirculated finishes, 22,926 coins in all. The obverses feature Frances Cleveland (on two coins, for Grover Cleveland's two terms), Caroline Harrison and, for Chester Arthur's term, suffragist Alice Paul; each reverse shows a scene from her life or work. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Struck in 99.99% gold, weighing 15.55 grams, 26.5 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Each coin's designers are named on its own page.
