Depicts a portrait of Letitia Tyler. The inscriptions include “Letitia Tyler”, the motto “In God We Trust”, “Liberty”, the order of the Presidency “10th”, the dates of the Presidential term "1841-1842", and the date and mintmark "W".

Letitia Tyler (née Christian; 1790–1842) was the first wife of President John Tyler and first lady of the United States from 1841 to 1842.

She married Tyler, then a law student, in 1808 at Cedar Grove, her family home. Their twenty-nine year marriage appears to have been a happy one, althrough Letitia avoided the limelight during her husband's political rise, remaining in Virginia during most of his time in Congress. Her later life was dogged by ill-health; a paralytic stroke suffered in 1839 left her an invalid. As first lady, she remained in the White House living quarters, leaving them only to attend her daughter Elizabeth's wedding in January 1842. She suffered another stroke in September 1842 and died, becoming the first First Lady to die while serving in her role.
