Letitia met John Tyler in 1808 during his studies as a law student and courted for five years before John Tyler asked for her hands in marriage. At 23 years of age, Letitia was officially married to John Tyler which led to 29 years of happily married years.

The obverse was designed and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill.
On the other hand, the reverse side of the coins portrayed the Letitia Tyler and her two children at their home in Cedar Grove Plantation. Letitia sound management of the grove meant that John Tyler only needed to focus on his politics. The inscription on reverse side include the “Cedar Grove Plantation” theme, “United States of America”, “$10” as the face value, “E Pluribus Unum”, “1/2 oz” of gold content, and “.9999 Fine Gold” as the statement of its purity.
