| Obverse description | Right-facing bust portrait of Julia Grant, wife of the 18th President, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The legend JULIA GRANT arcs along the upper obverse, while IN GOD WE TRUST appears in two lines to the left of the effigy and LIBERTY to the right. The date 2011 and mint mark W are positioned to the lower right of the portrait, with the inscription 18th 1869-1877 along the lower rim denoting Grant's presidential term. The portrait, engraved by Donna Weaver, captures a dignified three-quarter facial view with naturalistic detail characteristic of the First Spouse series. |

| Additional information |
Julia Grant entered the bullion coin series as part of the First Spouse Gold program, which obligated the Mint to issue a coin for every president — creating an awkward design problem when it reached Grover Cleveland's two non-consecutive terms. The program was authorized under the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, and production runs were notoriously small compared to mainstream bullion issues, with many First Spouse coins selling below their initial mintage authorization.
The 2011 issues sold particularly slowly, leaving the Mint to close sales on several pieces well before anticipated demand materialized.
