2014-W 1/2 oz Proof Gold Florence Harding (w/Box & COA)

---

Struck at the West Point Mint in New York, this half-ounce gold coin celebrates Florence Harding, the wife of the 29th President of the United States. The coin is minted from 0.9999 fine gold and features a proof finish that highlights its detailed artistry. The obverse displays a portrait of the First Lady, accompanied by the inscriptions of her name, the year 2014, and the traditional mottos of liberty and trust. The reverse design is rich with symbols representing her active and groundbreaking public life. It depicts stylized ballots alongside a ballot box, a movie camera, a torch, and initials that pay tribute to veterans of World War I. These elements reflect her historic role as the first First Lady to cast a vote, fly in an aircraft, operate a cinema camera, and own a radio receiver. Known for her modern approach, she also broke new ground by inviting prominent stars to the White House.
