USA: First Spouse – Martin Van Buren’s Liberty 1/2 oz Gold 2008

USA: First Spouse – Martin Van Buren’s Liberty 1/2 Ounce Gold 2008 is a gold collector’s coin that is part of the prestigious First Spouse Gold Coins series issued by the United States Mint. It is unique in that it is one of four issues in the series where, instead of the First Lady’s portrait, the classical personification of Liberty appears. This design was chosen because Martin Van Buren was a widower during his presidency.

The coin is struck in pure 999.9 gold, weighs 1/2 troy ounce and has a diameter of 26.5 mm. Its face value is 10 U.S. dollars, and the official currency status confirms the authenticity of this issue. The 2008 edition stands out due to its limited mintage and high minting standards, which are characteristic of the entire First Spouse series.

The Van Buren’s Liberty coin combines a historic theme, a classic design, and high-quality craftsmanship. It is a great choice for both enthusiasts of American history and those seeking unique gold collector coins.

Obverse features the classic figure of Liberty, the symbol of freedom in American tradition, surrounded by inscriptions with the series name, year of issuance, and face value.

Reverse displays symbolic motifs referring to the values of freedom and the era of Van Buren’s presidency, highlighting the uniqueness of this issue in comparison to other coins in the series.
