| Beschrijving voorzijde | Portrait bust of Elizabeth Monroe facing slightly left, rendered in high relief with fine detail, wearing a jeweled headband and period-appropriate draped attire. The legend ELIZABETH MONROE arcs along the upper periphery, while IN GOD WE TRUST appears in two lines to the left of the effigy and LIBERTY, the date 2008, and the W mintmark are inscribed to the right. Along the lower rim, the ordinal designation 5th and the presidential term dates 1817-1825 are inscribed, identifying Monroe's tenure as First Lady. The portrait is set within a raised rim, with engravers' initials visible in the lower field. The overall design reflects the neoclassical artistic style associated with the First Spouse Gold Coin series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Elizabeth Monroe is one of the least-documented First Ladies in American history, which makes her appearance in the Presidential Spouse Gold Coin series quietly anomalous. The series was authorized under the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, which mandated companion gold bullion issues for each presidential dollar — meaning Monroe's inclusion was statutory, not a curatorial choice.
She spent years in France during her husband's diplomatic posting and is credited with personally intervening to prevent the execution of Adrienne de Lafayette during the Reign of Terror.
