Obverse
The obverse of the 2013-W US Mint First Spouse Ida McKinley Gold Coin features a left-facing portrait of the First Lady. President McKinley was deeply devoted to his wife, often bending traditional White House customs to ensure her comfort and care. One notable example was his decision to have her seated next to him at state dinners, contrary to the usual formal seating arrangements.
Reverse
On the reverse, her hands are shown engaged in crocheting. Despite her health struggles, Mrs. McKinley was known for crafting thousands of slippers, which she donated to charity. The funds raised from these donations went to childrens organizations, making her efforts a lasting legacy of generosity.
History
Born Ida Saxton in 1847, Ida McKinley was ahead of her time. She worked at her fathers bank as a cashier, a role that was traditionally reserved for men. In 1871, she married William McKinley, who would later become the 25th President of the United States. Before she arrived at the White House, her health had already declined significantly, and she remained in fragile condition throughout her tenure as First Lady.
