Abigail Fillmore joined the First Spouse bullion series in 2010 alongside her husband Millard's presidential gold dollar. The program was created partly to use gold allocated under the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, and these half-ounce .9999 fine pieces were struck in deliberately limited quantities — the Fillmore issue had a mintage of just 3,482 business strikes, making it one of the lower-mintage entries in the entire series.
Abigail is credited with lobbying Congress to fund the first White House library after discovering the executive mansion had no books at all.
