Iconic USA Presidential portraits - finished in 24-carat gold!
An official issue of the US Mint’s Presidential dollars, commemorating the great leader who shaped the United States of America. Struck to impeccable quality, these highly sought after US legal tender coins are renowned for the powerful portraits of US Presidents.
Born on November 24th, 1784 into a long line of planters, Zachary Taylor received the education of a frontier, learning the valuable skills of farming, horsemanship and shooting. In 1808, he joined the army as a first lieutenant and spent the next four decades commanding troops in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War (1832), the second of the Seminole Wars (1835-1842) and the Mexican War (1846-1848). It was during the Mexican War that his achievements earned him the Whig Party candidate nomination in 1848. In a time of sectional debate over slavery, Taylor’s military record appealed to Northerners, while his slaveholding status earnt respect amongst pro-slavers. His presidency was dominated by debate surrounding slavery and its expansion into the nation’s new western territories. Though a slaveholder himself, Taylor came to oppose new slavery states and became increasingly unwilling to appease Southerners. Sadly, in 1850 while attending a ceremony at the unfinished Washington Monument, Taylor became violently ill with stomach cramps. On July 9th, he passed away while still in office.
