Beginning
in 2022, and continuing through 2025, the Mint will issue five new
quarters each year featuring reverse designs honoring prominent
American women.
Each coin in this series features a common obverse (heads)
design depicting a portrait of George Washington. This design was
originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser as a candidate
entry for the 1932 quarter, which honored the bicentennial of George
Washington’s birth. The inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,”
and “2022.”
The American Women Quarters reverse (tails) designs honor a
diverse group of notable American women who made significant
contributions in a variety of fields, including suffrage, civil rights,
abolition, government, humanities, science, space, and the arts. The
women honored are from ethnically, racially, and geographically diverse
backgrounds.
