$10 · 1/2 Oz. .9999 FINE GOLD
Description:
The reverse of the coin is intended to represent the First Lady’s love of children. It features a scene from the children’s ball held for President Andrew Johnson’s 60th birthday. Three children are dancing and a Marine Band fiddler is present in the background. When the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee reviewed design candidates, they believed that this option, in which the First Lady was not present, was a more symbolic representation of the event. The design was created by Gary Whitley. Reverse inscriptions around the outer edge of the coin include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”, “E PLURIBUS UNUM”, the nominal face value “$10”, the gold content and fineness “1/2 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD”.
