The obverse of the 2015-W 1/2 oz First Spouse Bess Truman Gold Coin displays a portrait of Bess Truman. While she was known for her private nature, she was also highly intelligent and well-versed in politics.

On the reverse of the 2015-W US Mint First Spouse Bess Truman Gold Coin, the design features a steam locomotive wheel and crank. This symbolizes the 1948 Whistle Stop Campaign, in which President Truman traveled the country by train, delivering speeches from the back of his railcar. His efforts led to an unexpected victory in the 1948 election.

During her time as First Lady, Bess Truman preferred to keep a lower profile and was selective about public appearances. While she prioritized her family’s privacy, she also worked to maintain a sense of stability during a period of major global changes, including the conclusion of World War II and the early stages of the Cold War.
