President Woodrow Wilson is one of only two U.S. presidents to have had two First Ladies during his time in office. His first wife, Ellen Wilson, was by his side during his first term. Serving as First Lady from 1913 until her passing in 1914, she was an accomplished artist and the first presidential spouse to hold a college degree.

The obverse of the 2013-W US Mint First Spouse Ellen Wilson Gold Coin features a portrait of Ellen Wilson. As First Lady, she advocated for social reforms, particularly for improving housing conditions in Washington, D.C. After her passing, Congress passed the Alley Dwelling Act, later known as Mrs. Wilson’s Bill, in recognition of her efforts.

On the reverse of the 2013-W 1/2 oz First Spouse Ellen Wilson Gold Coin, roses are depicted. Though she was First Lady for only a short time, Ellen Wilson made a lasting impact on the White House. She was responsible for the redesign of the White House Rose Garden and also created a painting studio on the building’s roof.
