2016 First Spouse Bronze Medal Series Three (3) Medal Set U.S. Mint Unc
Each medal obverse (heads side) offers a portrait of the honored first lady with a portrayal of a scene that is symbolic of her life on the reverse. These designs were introduced earlier on 2016-W $10 First Spouse Gold Coins. The medals have a 1 5/16-inch diameter and are somewhat larger than the .9999 fine gold coins, and they are produced at the Philadelphia Mint from 90% copper and 10% zinc.
Below are brief design information and U.S. Mint images of the medals, along with links to CoinNews articles about their sister 24-karat gold coins.
