Does the inclusion of the word CRISTIANO mean that she wore her religion on her sleeve?  |

I'm pretty sure that the entire point of the series is to familiarize people with unfamiliar American female historical figures.   Quote:

I recently found my first Jovita Idar quarter in change. I was waiting to judge the design until I saw it in person. It's true, as everyone has said: It's almost impossible to read the words on even a moderately circulated coin. It makes an interesting, eye-catching design even so, but it's a design flaw.

Yea I just found my first and it's a kinda odd looking coin, tbh I'm not a fan of any of the 2010 onwards designs, they are all too busy. Wish they would just make consistent yearly coins again instead of trying to replicate the State Quarters. |

It looks like a medallion to me.
You could make a nice necklace out of it...

Interesting to hear everyone's views. I don't like the design much, but I agree that the silver proof looks much better than the clad circulating version. i wonder if the designer was influenced by the £2 coin issued by The Royal Mint in 2012 to commemorate Charles Dickens?  |

jpsned I made a statement along time ago that the mint is rushing the designs of these quarters. I also stated that I have not even heard of a lot of these women.

All the negative Nelly's, look at the positive, this coin maybe like early Bison nickels, the few mint state/proof coins will be the most valuable as they will wear fast. Circulation coins will be worthless while the mint state will be the conditional rarities.
