On October 25, the United States Mint issues the fifth coin in the American Women Quarters series, dedicated to Anna May Wong, the first Chinese American to become a Hollywood movie star.

The American Women Quarters quarter series is a four-year, 20-piece program that honors 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 reverse of the coin features a close-up image of Anna May Wong with her head resting on her hand, surrounded by the bright lights of a marquee sign. The inscriptions are: «UNITED STATES OF AMERICA», «QUARTER DOLLAR», «E PLUIBUS UNUM» and «ANNA MAY WONG.» 

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".
