2024 Quarters Celebrating U.S. Women in Silver Proof Set
The newest product from the United States Mint is the 2024 American Women Quarters Silver Proof Set™, which features five new 99.9% silver quarters. Available today at noon ET, each coin in the set celebrates the significant contributions made by American women to the history and development of the United States.
The coins continue the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarters™ Program and include all five of the 2024-dated designs. Each silver coin is produced at the Mint’s facility in San Francisco and features the proof finish known for its frosted designs and mirror-like backgrounds, which are created from polished blank planchets struck multiple times using special dies.
Included in the 2024 American Women Quarter Silver Proof Set are coins honoring the following individuals:
- Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray – poet, writer, activist, lawyer, and Episcopal priest who is considered to be one of the most noted social justice advocates of the last century
- Honorable Patsy Takemoto Mink – proponent of gender and racial equality, affordable childcare, and bilingual education who championed the Title IX legislation in Congress which prohibited sex discrimination in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance
- Dr. Mary Edwards Walker – Civil War era surgeon and women’s rights advocate. Walker became the first woman U.S. Army surgeon as a “Contract Acting Assistant Surgeon (civilian).” She was also awarded the Medal of Honor, the only woman ever to be so honored
- Celia Cruz – one of the most popular and award-winning Latin artists of the 20th century, Cruz became a cultural icon of her era who was given the nickname “Queen of Salsa”
- Zitkala-Ša – also known as Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, was a writer, composer, educator, and political activist for Native American rights and citizenship in the early 20th century whose efforts led to the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, which granted American Indians US Citizenship while still maintaining their tribal standing and citizenship
These individuals mark the 11th through 15th to be honored in the American Women series which debuted in 2022 and features five new coins annually through 2025.
