Theodore Roosevelt wasn't just the 25th president of the United States but he was also the youngest president to ever be sworn in. Roosevelt was William McKinley's vice president in 1901 and took over as Commander in Chief when McKinley was assassinated. Roosevelt grew up as a sickly child, which led to his many interests as a naturalist and explorer. He was homeschooled all the way until he attended Harvard for college. During his studies, Roosevelt also became a writer about the US military. Losing his wife and mother at the same time, Roosevelt escaped into the wilderness, operating a cattle ranch in the Dakotas to be closer to nature and to write more books. It would be after his pilgrimage that he would take a life in politics more seriously and campaign as Mayor for New York City. The Spanish-American War was when Roosevelt became a national hero and his face was recognized by all Americans. Roosevelt fought for fairness for the average American and regulation of railroads to increase America's working industries.
Believed to be one of the best presidents in history, Theodore Roosevelt's face is etched into Mount Rushmore, as is the faces of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson. Roosevelt's face is also etched into the obverse of the 2013-S Presidential Dollar. Roosevelt served two successful terms, both of which are inscribed underneath his portrait. Like all the other Presidential Dollars, the date of mintage and mint-mark can be found on the rim of each dollar. The reverse highlights the astute Statue of Liberty and the coin's legal tender value. The Presidential Dollars are made from a unique metal alloy, containing copper and brass, which result in the alluring golden color.
