<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1516016, member: 112&quot;]Frank - Teddy left office in 1909. So it&#039;s kind of hard to say he is responsible for the coinage designs in 1916. Yes he was responsible for many changes in design of the earlier gold coinage. But it&#039;s a bit of a stretch to say he was responsible for the designs of 1916.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anything, I believe the designs of 1916 had more to do with the country&#039;s political desire for peace, there was a war raging in Europe, than anything else. I expect the expression of that desire was more of a collective effort than that of any one man. Our coinage has often reflected, or used to anyway, the collective political desire of the nation.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if searching for credit, since Weinman designed 2 of the 3 coins, I suppose it could be given to him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
