2022 United States Mint Proof Set Available April 7, Includes American Women Quarters

US Mint - New This Year: Proof versions of the first five American Women Quarters™ Included

The 2022 United States Mint (Mint) Proof Set (product code 22RG) will be available for purchase starting on April 7 at noon EDT. This year, the set includes the first five coins in the American Women Quarters Program, the four-year initiative to honor the contributions and achievements of American women to the nation.



Priced at $32, the set includes the following ten proof coins from the Mint's San Francisco facility:

Five 2022 American Women Quarters with reverse (tails) designs honoring Maya Angelou, Dr. Sally Ride, Wilma Mankiller, Nina Otero-Warren, and Anna May Wong. The obverse (heads) of each coin depicts a portrait of George Washington, originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser to mark George Washington's 200th birthday. It was a recommended design for the 1932 quarter, but then-Treasury Secretary Mellon ultimately selected the familiar John Flannigan design. Inscriptions are "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "2022." The obverse design is common to all quarters issued in the series.

One Native American $1 Coin with a reverse design that honors the contributions of Ely S. Parker of the Tonawanda Seneca, who is depicted in an Army uniform, serving as military secretary to General Ulysses S. Grant during the Civil War. During the surrender at Appomattox, Parker rendered formal surrender documents in his own hand. He is shown with a quill pen, book, and likeness of his signature—symbols of his experience as an expert communicator, and his graceful penmanship. The inscriptions "TONAWANDA SENECA" and "HA-SA-NO-AN-DA" recognize his tribe and birth name. Additional inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "$1." The obverse design retains the central figure Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste. Inscriptions are "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST." The year of minting, mint mark, and inscription "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are incused on the edge of the coins.

One Kennedy half dollar
One Roosevelt dime
One Jefferson nickel
One Lincoln Penny

All coins are encapsulated and enclosed in newly designed blue packaging featuring photographs of the five 2022 American Women Quarters Program honorees and partial images of the remaining coins. A certificate of authenticity is also included in the package.
