1999-P Dolley Madison Commemorative Silver Dollar Proof

First Time First Lady Silver Dollar!

When it was issued in 1999 to mark the 150th anniversary of the death of Dolley Madison, wife of the fourth U.S. President James Madison, this silver dollar became the first time that a First Lady was depicted on a United States coin!

Dolley Madison Defined The Role Of Our Nation’s First Ladies

Dolley Madison was noted for holding Washington social functions in which she invited members of both political parties, essentially spearheading the concept of bipartisan cooperation. The coin depicts Dolley on the obverse surrounded by a bouquet of Cape Jasmine flowers with Montpelier’s classically inspired icehouse in the background. Montpelier is the home of President James Madison, the Father of the Constitution and Architect of the Bill of Rights. The coin’s reverse features the front facade at Montpelier with its columns and lush willow trees and foliage in the background. Known for her grace and wit, Dolley Madison defined the role of our nation’s First Ladies. She set the tone for presidential spouses after serving 16 years as hostess of the White House, first during the presidency of the widowed Thomas Jefferson, and later during the administration of her own husband.
