1992 White House Silver Dollar

1992 White House Silver Dollar

The 1992 White House Silver Dollar was released to mark the 200th anniversary of the White House. The cornerstone for the structure was originally placed on October 13, 1792. Surcharges from the sale of coins were used for the preservation of the public rooms of the White House.

The obverse of the coin displays a view of the north portico of the White House. The reverse of the coin depicts James Hoban, who was the architect of the White House. He stands before the original entrance. The obverse was designed by Edgar Z. Steever IV, and the reverse was designed by Chester Y. Martin.

The obverse inscriptions include "The White House", "In God We Trust", "Liberty", and the dual date "1792" and "1992". The reverse inscriptions include "United States of America", "E Pluribus Unum", the denomination "One Dollar" and "James Hoban".

The 1992 White House Commemorative Silver Dollar was issued in proof and uncirculated version. The prof coins were produced at the West Point Mint, and the uncirculated coins at the Denver Mint. Coins were sold individually and had a maximum authorized mintage of 500,000 across both options. This was much lower than typical for commemorative coins at the time. The entire mintage sold out within the pre-issue discount period.
