The commemorative Lafayette dollar issued in 1900 also featured George Washington (and the Marquis de Lafayette), and was the first coin to do so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lafayette_dollar
The first coin intended for circulation to feature a president was the cent, which for Abraham Lincoln's 100 birthday changed to a design featuring him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_cent
