Dear Secretary Lew:
A public meeting of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (Committee) was held on
Friday, April 19, 2013, at United States Mint Headquarters in Washington, DC. The
Committee reviewed proposed obverse and reverse designs for the Code Talkers Congressional
Gold Medal for the Muscogee Creek Nation.
The Committee recommended Obverse-03. The design garnered 22 of the possible 27 scoring
points assigned through the Committee’s evaluation process. For the reverse of the medal, the
Committee strongly recommended Reverse-02. The design garnered 24 of the possible 27
scoring points. Members commented that the modern design of Reverse-02 would produce a
beautiful medal.
Sincerely,

Dear Secretary Lew:
A public meeting of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (Committee) was held on
Friday, April 19, 2013, at United States Mint Headquarters in Washington, DC. The
Committee reviewed proposed reverse designs for the 2013 First Spouse Gold Coin and Medal
Program honoring Edith Wilson.
Reverse design EdW-R-05 garnered 26 of a possible 27 points and, therefore, is submitted with
a strong recommendation by the Committee. The design provides an illustration of Edith
Wilson’s hand on President Wilson’s hand, which grips a cane. The design symbolically
conveys Mrs. Wilson’s important and compassionate role in assisting President Wilson in the
execution of his duties following his stroke. Committee members remarked that the design
provides a good balance of design elements and negative space and will produce a very
attractive coin.
Sincerely,

Gary B. Marks
