Each $10 face value coin in the series is struck from 1/2 ounce of 24-karat gold. This makes the coin’s intrinsic value worth much more than it’s face value indicates.

The coin honoring Margaret Taylor features a portrait of her on the obverse and an image showing her comforting a wounded soldier during the Seminole War.
