The fourth issue in the inaugural American Women Quarters Program from the United States Mint will be released today beginning at 12pm EST. Dated 2022, Nina Otero-Warren will be featured on the reverse of the quarter dollar.
Available in 100-coin bags, two-roll sets, and three-roll sets, the coins will come from Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco (three-roll sets only). However, the Mint is making it clear that due to demand, the full production of each of the available products are all accounted for through enrollments. They encourage those still interested to sign up for product reminders in case inventory is once again available.
With three of New Mexico’s state flowers, the Yucca flower, surrounding her, Nina Otero-Warren is featured on the reverse while honoring her leadership in New Mexico’s suffrage movement. She was also the first female superintendent of Santa Fe public schools. Designed by AIP Designer Chris Costello, the reverse also features the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “QUARTER DOLLAR,” E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “NINA OTERO-WARREN,” and “VOTO PARA LA MUJER” which is the Spanish counterpart for the suffragist slogan “Votes for Women.” Medallic Artist Craig A. Campbell sculpted the design.
The common obverse of each coin features a portrait of George Washington. Originally created and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser as an entry for the design of the 1932 quarter, the portrait of the first President of the United States honored the bicentennial of Washington’s birth. Inscriptions feature the words “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2022.”
