The third coin in the American Women Quarters series is issued on June 14, dedicated to Wilma Mankiller, the first Chief of the Cherokee Nation. She is also the first woman elected as chief of a major native tribe. She spent her life fighting for the rights of American Indians and women.
The American Women Quarters 25 Cent Coin Program is a four-year, 20-piece program that honors the achievements and contributions of women to the development and history of the United States. Beginning in 2022 and running through 2025, the United States Mint will issue up to five new designs each year.
This design represents Wilma Mankiller with a determined look to the future. The wind is at her back and she is wrapped in a traditional shawl. To the left of her is the seven-pointed star of the Cherokee Nation. The inscriptions are: "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "E PLURIBUS UNUM", "QUARTER DOLLAR", "WILMA MANKILLER", "PRINCIPAL CHIEF", and "CHEROKEE NATION", which is written in the Cherokee syllabary.
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".
