Authorized to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Dolley Madison's death in 1849, this dollar was the first U.S. The obverse features a portrait of First Lady Dolley Madison bordered by Cape Jasmines, her favorite flowers, in front of Montpelier's ice house, while the reverse displays Montpelier, the Madison estate, surrounded by willow trees and foliage. Designed by T. James Ferrell/Thomas D. Rogers. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9771.
