The 2013 Ellen Wilson First Spouse Gold Coin represented the first of two different coins issued for the 28th Presidency. Since President Woodrow Wilson had both a first and second wife while in office, both First Ladies were honored on separately issued coins. This was the second instance of the series when a Presidency was marked by the issuance of two different coins.
The reverse design of the coin featured an image of roses with the White House visible in the background. This design was intended to be a tribute to Mrs. Wilson’s creation of the White House Rose Garden. The final design was modified slightly from the original proposal, with the overlap of the roses and the White House eliminated.
