The second of the First Spouse Proof coins released in 2010.Jane Pierce First Spouse Gold CoinFirst Lady, 1853–1857 The daughter of a devout Congregationalist minister, Jane Appleton Pierce was born on March 12, 1806, in Hampton, N.H. Her father later moved the family to Brunswick, Maine, when he became president of Bowdoin College, her future alma mater. Bowdoin College was also where Jane met her future husband, Franklin Pierce. They married in 1834, eight years after they first met. Two years into her husband's presidency, Jane Pierce emerged from an extended period of mourning after the death of her son. She began to attend receptions and dinner parties, and even organized a few of her own. By 1856, she was venturing out in Washington, regularly visiting the U.S. Capitol Building, where she sat in the Senate visitor's gallery listening to heated debates over the issue of slavery. After President Pierce left office, the couple sailed the Caribbean on board the U.S.S. Powhatan, a government ship loaned to them by his successor, President James Buchanan. The coin's obverse (heads side) and reverse (tails) designs are both by Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Donna Weaver. The obverse features an image of Jane Pierce with the inscriptions JANE PIERCE, IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, 2010, 14th and 1853-1857 . Reverse Design The reverse depicts Mrs. Pierce listening to debates in the visitor's gallery of the Old Senate Chamber in the U.S. Capitol Building.
