In this 2022 we debut a new series of US 25-cent coins intended for circulation called American Women Quarters. The four-year collection will honor the achievements and contributions of women to the development and history of the United States. From 2022 through 2025, the United States Mint will issue up to five new designs each year. The obverse of the coins will retain the image of George Washington, but will be different from the design used during the previous quarters program (America the Beautiful Quarters).

Tomorrow, February 7, the first coin of the series dedicated to Maya Angelou, famous writer, performer and social activist, will be issued.


The design on the reverse of the coin depicts Maya Angelou with her arms raised. Behind her is a bird in flight and a rising sun, images inspired by her poetry and symbolizing her way of life. The inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "MAYA ANGELOU", "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "QUARTER DOLLAR".


The obverse design of all coins in the American Women Quarters series is the work of Laura Gardin Fraser, one of the most prolific sculptors of the early 20th century, whose works span the world of art and numismatics. Fraser's design represents a portrait of George Washington, which was originally composed and sculpted as a candidate to commemorate George Washington's 200th birthday. Although this design was recommended for the 1932 quarter, the then Secretary of the Treasury ultimately chose the well-known John Flannigan design. The inscriptions are "LIBERTY", "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "2022".
