2024-S American Women 5 Quarter Proof Set ANACS PR70

The 2024 American Women Quarters Proof Set™ features all five 2024 American Women Quarters.

This set is the third 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 "2024."

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 2024 reverses (tails) of these coins honor these American Women:
• Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray was a poet, writer, activist, lawyer, and Episcopal priest. To this day, Murray is regarded as one of the most important social justice advocates of the twentieth century
• Honorable Patsy Takemoto Mink As a Member of Congress, she fought for gender and racial equality, affordable childcare, and bilingual education. Mink was the champion of Title IX legislation in Congress, prohibiting sex discrimination in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Title IX was posthumously renamed the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act.
• Dr. Mary Edwards Walker was a Civil War era surgeon, and women's rights and dress reform advocate. Walker relentlessly pursued her desire to serve as a surgeon during the Civil War and in 1863 she became the first woman U.S. Army surgeon as a "Contract Acting Assistant Surgeon (civilian)." To date, Walker is the only woman to be awarded the Medal of Honor.
• Celia Cruz was a Cuban-American singer, cultural icon, and one of the most popular Latin artists of the 20th century. Known as the "Queen of Salsa," Cruz's numerous honors and awards include three American and four Latin Grammy awards, the Presidential Medal of Arts, and countless lifetime achievement awards.
• Zitkala-Sa also known as Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, was a writer, composer, educator, and political activist for Native American rights and citizenship in the early 20th century. Zitkala-Sa was staunchly opposed to the annihilation of indigenous culture through assimilation after she was forced to give up her own Native American customs and traditions in exchange for education. Additionally, her advocacy work directly led to the passage of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, which granted American Indians US Citizenship while still maintaining their tribal standing and citizenship.
