Get The First Five Coins In The American Women Quarters Series

Here’s your chance to not only acquire all five fist-year, one-year-only quarters for 2022, but you can secure them in gorgeous Proof condition. It’s the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarters Proof Set™ and this beautiful set will come beautifully displayed in a protective lens and accompanied by a Mint-issued Certificate of Authenticity.

A Diverse Group Of Prominent American Women

These quarters honor a broad and diverse group of prominent 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. The five women honored in 2022 include:

• MAYA ANGELOU. Writer, poet, performer, social activist, and teacher, Angelou (1928–2014) rose to international prominence as an author after the publication of her groundbreaking autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
• SALLY RIDE. Sally Kristen Ride (1951–2012) was an American astronaut and physicist. She joined NASA in 1978 and became the first American woman in space when she flew a mission on the space shuttle Challenger on June 18, 1983.
• WILMA MANKILLER. Wilma Pearl Mankiller (1945–2010) was an American Cherokee activist, social worker, community developer and the first woman elected to serve as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation.
• NINA OTERO-WARREN. María Adelina Isabel Emilia "Nina" Otero-Warren (1881–1965) was a woman's suffragist, educator, and politician. She was first Hispanic woman to run for U.S. Congress and the first female superintendent of public schools in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
• ANNA MAY WONG. Wong Liu-tsong (1905–1961), known professionally as Anna May Wong, was an American actress and was Hollywood’s first Chinese-American movie star, and the first Chinese-American actress to gain international recognition.

Laura Gardin Fraser’s Beloved Washington Design

In addition to the one-year-only designs, this series features a new obverse design by American sculptor Laura Gardin Fraser features a portrait of George Washington facing right, surrounded by the inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” AND “2022.” Fraser originally created this design in 1931 as her entry in the competition for the 1932 Washington Quarter that was struck to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Washington’s birth. Her design was recommended by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, but John Flannigan’s left facing Washington design was ultimately selected. Fraser’s obverse design was later used in 1999 on the George Washington Commemorative Gold $5 Coin.
