| Additional information |
Lucy Hayes appears in this series as the wife of Rutherford B. Hayes, whose administration ran from 1877 to 1881. She was the first First Lady known to hold a college degree — she graduated from Cincinnati Wesleyan Female College in 1850 — and earned the nickname "Lemonade Lucy" from political opponents who resented her ban on alcohol at White House functions, a policy driven by Methodist conviction rather than temperance activism per se.
The First Spouse bullion series was authorized under the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, with one gold issue struck for each president's term.
