US Mint - The United States Mint (Mint) is pleased to announce the designs for the fourth and final year of the
American Women Quarters Program. Authorized by Public Law 116-330, this four-year program features coins with reverse (tails) designs emblematic of the accomplishments and contributions of trailblazing American women. Since the beginning of the program in 2022, the Mint has issued five quarters annually, and the final five quarters will be issued in 2025. The ethnically, racially, and geographically diverse group of individuals honored through this program reflects various accomplishments and fields, including suffrage, civil rights, abolition, government, humanities, science, space, and the arts. The 2025 coins recognize the achievements of Ida B. Wells, Juliette Gordon Low, Dr. Vera Rubin, Stacey Park Milbern, and Althea Gibson.
"I am honored to announce the 2025 designs for the fourth and final year of the historic American Women's Quarters Program," said U.S. Mint Director Ventris C. Gibson. "This program has recognized the remarkable legacies of these extraordinary she-roes. These beautiful
American Women Quarters will be in circulation for decades to come and continue to educate the American people on our incredible honorees."

Common Obverse (Heads) DesignThe obverse design of all coins in the
American Women Quarters Program is by
Laura Gardin Fraser, one of the most prolific female sculptors of the early 20th century, whose works span the art and numismatic worlds. Fraser's design depicts a portrait of George Washington, which was originally composed and sculpted as a candidate to mark George Washington's 200th birthday. Though recommended for the 1932 quarter, then-Treasury Secretary Mellon ultimately selected the familiar John Flannigan design. Inscriptions are "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "2025."
