2023 BU P&D MINT AMERICAN WOMEN QUARTERS SET OF 10

The 2023 American Women Quarters Proof Set™ features all five 2023 American Women Quarters from the Philadelphia and Denver Mints.  Each set of 5 are packaged in a protective lens to showcase and maintain their exceptional BU finish.

This set is the second annual release in the four-year series of this new program celebrating the accomplishments and contributions made by women to the development and history of the U.S.

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 “2023.”

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.

The 2023 reverses (tails) of these coins honor these American Women:

Bessie Coleman – first African American and first Native American woman licensed pilot
Edith Kanakaʻole – indigenous Hawaiian composer, custodian of native culture and traditions
Eleanor Roosevelt – leader, reformer, first lady, and author
Jovita Idar – Mexican-American journalist, activist, teacher, and suffragist
Maria Tallchief – America’s first prima ballerina
