Obverse

The obverse of the 2010-W 1/2 oz First Spouse Jane Pierce Gold Coin presents a finely detailed portrait of Jane Pierce. Though she entered the White House as a reluctant First Lady, she carried herself with quiet grace and dignity. Over time, she accepted certain social responsibilities despite her preference for privacy.

Reverse

On the reverse, Jane Pierce is shown seated in the Old Senate Chambers viewing gallery at the U.S. Capitol. She was rarely seen at public events but occasionally attended Senate debates, showing a reserved interest in political matters.

History

Jane Pierce was one of the most private First Ladies in U.S. history. As the wife of Franklin Pierce, the nations 14th president, she faced immense personal tragedy. Just before her husband took office, their only son, Benjamin, was killed in a train accident. This devastating event deeply affected Jane, leading her to withdraw from most public activities in the early years of her husbands presidency.
