It also represented the fourteenth release overall for the series, which began in 2007 to honor the former Presidents of the United States.

The official launch ceremony for the coin was held on the same date at Pierce Manse, the former President’s home in Concord, New Hampshire. The event was co-hosted by the Franklin Pierce College and the Pierce Brigade. United States Mint Deputy Director Adnrew Brunhart was on hand for the ceremony. The obverse of the Franklin Pierce Presidential Dollar features a portrait designed by Susan Gamble and engraved by Charles Vickers.

The reverse of the coin features a rendition of the Statue of Liberty as designed by Don Everhart. This image has been used as the reverse design for each coin in the Presidential Dollar series so far. Inscriptions read “United States of America” and the denomination “$1″. The Presidential Dollars will continue to use incuse edge lettering for some required elements.
