Obverse

The obverse of the 2013-W Proof First Spouse Ida McKinley Gold Coin features a left-profile bust of the First Lady.

Her condition remained undisclosed during her time as First Lady, and she received dedicated care from her husband and close aides.

Reverse

Turn the coin over, and you’ll find a heartfelt portrayal of two hands using a crochet needle on the reverse side of the 2013-W 1/2 oz Proof US Mint Ida McKinley Gold Coins. Ida’s talent for crocheting slippers during her private moments at the White House became renowned, with the slippers later being auctioned for charitable causes.

History

Ida McKinley supervised a major redecoration of the White House during her husband’s presidency. The interior was refurbished in an elegant and formal style, reflecting her refined tastes.
