Comment
The 1997 Franklin D. Roosevelt $5 Gold Coin was issued for the 32nd President of the United States. The commemorative coin program was not issued for any particular event or anniversary.Considering that newly inaugurated President Franklin Delano Roosevelt suspended the minting and paying out of U S gold coins in 1933, it was ironic that he should later have a gold coin commemorating his life.
The U.S. Navy heavy cruiser USS Houston (CA-30) off San Diego, California (USA), in October 1935, with U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt on board is where the design (photo) came from She is flying an admiral's four-star flag at her foremast peak, and the Presidential flag at her mainmast peak.
