The third release in the 2024 American Women Quarters program is now available from the United States Mint. You can purchase 100-coin bags from Philadelphia and Denver in addition to 2-roll sets and 3-roll sets (includes San Francisco).
Crossing battle lines to care for wounded soldiers, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker was a Civil War era surgeon who at one point was captured by Confederate troops as a suspected spy. She was held prisoner for four months during the war and is the only woman to be given the Medal of Honor. She was also a women’s rights advocate and abolitionist.
The reverse design depicts Dr. Mary Edwards Walker holding her pocket surgical kit with the Medal of Honor on her uniform. A surgeon's pin is also on her collar. To the left of her showcases the details of the Medal of Honor, which she continued to wear for the rest of her life. “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “25 CENTS,” “DR. MARY EDWARDS WALKER,” and “MEDAL OF HONOR 1865” are also inscribed.
Both 100-coin bag options retail for $45.00 while the 2-roll coin set is $40.00, and the 3-roll coin set is $60.00.
