President Grover Cleveland had entered the White House as a bachelor, but soon married Frances Folsom Cleveland. At the time, she was 21 years of age and remains the youngest First Lady in history. Her beauty and charm won over public opinion, despite her young age.
The obverse design of the coin features a portrait with the required inscriptions. These include her name, the order of the Presidency “22nd”, the dates of the term “1886-1889″, “In God We Trust”, “Liberty”, and the date. The obverse was designed by Joel Iskowitz and sculpted by Don Everhart.
On the reverse of the coin is a scene of the First Lady at the working women’s receptions held at the White House.
