This coveted, stunning proof bears the first Tiffany & Co. hallmark on U.S. coins. It's America's only "First Lady" commemorative, honoring the famous wife of President James Madison. Her portrait is modeled on Gilbert Stuart's rendering; she courageously rescued one of his Washington portraits from a fire set by the British in 1814. She's shown with her favorite Cape Jasmines and the classic icehouse at Montpelier, the Madison home in Virginia that appears on the reverse. 38mm
Please note that our modern commemoratives are not always available in the original mint packaging.
