The 2016 Gold First Spouse coins represent the spouses of U.S. Presidents, issued as part of the First Spouse Gold Coin Program. Each coin contains one-half ounce of .9999 fine gold and features a unique design honoring the respective First Lady. The ten-dollar denomination aligns with the historical $10 gold coins, and these coins are collectible due to their gold content, artistic designs, and limited mintage. These coins are part of the United States Mint's effort to commemorate and recognize the contributions of First Ladies in American history.
