Under the authorizing legislation for the First Spouse Gold Coin Program, coins will be issued for any spouse of a President being honored on a Presidential Dollar. Additionally, coins featuring a depiction of Liberty will be issued for any President who served in office without a spouse.
This results in the release of four different coins per year, with the exception of 2009 and 2013. For each of these tw0 years, one of the Presidents had a first and second wife, necessitating an additional coin. The final year of the series will likely have fewer than four issues.
Release dates for the First Spouse Gold Coins are generally revealed by the United States Mint during the year of issue. Except for the first two coins of the series, which were released together, coins have been released individually at intervals throughout the year.
The table below presents the release dates for past First Spouse Gold Coins as well as future coins where the release dates are known. This schedule will be updated with the additional release dates once they are revealed by the United States Mint.
