Obverse

Lettering:
EDITH ROOSEVELT
IN GOD WE TRUST
LIBERTY
2013
W
26th 1901-1909
Description:
The obverse design of the coin featured an image of the First Lady created from a composite of two photographs. Although the pose was uncharacteristic for the series, it was recommended by both the Commission of Fine Arts and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee since one of the source photographs was known to be a favorite of President Theodore Roosevelt. Additionally, the design was the preference of the Roosevelt family and the Theodore Roosevelt Association. The obverse was completed by the inscriptions “EDITH ROOSEVELT”, “IN GOD WE TRUST”, “LIBERTY”, “2013”, “26TH”, and “1901-1909”.
