Tomorrow, August 16, the United States Mint issues the fourth coin in the American Women Quarters series, dedicated to Nina Otero-Warren, a pioneering political figure and educator in early 20th century New Mexico, who spent her life working for suffrage and educational opportunities for women and the poor.
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.
The design features an image of Nina Otero-Warren on the left, flanked by three yucca blossoms, the state flower of New Mexico. The inscriptions are: "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "QUARTER DOLLAR", "E PLUIBUS UNUM", "NINA OTERO-WARREN" and "VOTE FOR WOMEN".
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".
