How to recognize it
The Dr. Mary Edwards Walker design
Dr. Mary Edwards Walker (1832 to 1919) graduated from Syracuse Medical College in 1855 and served as a surgeon with Union forces during the Civil War. Captured by Confederate troops in 1864, she was held as a prisoner in Richmond for several months. In 1865 she received the Medal of Honor, becoming the only woman ever awarded it. The reverse shows her holding a pocket surgical kit and wearing the medal on her uniform, with the inscription MEDAL OF HONOR 1865. Phebe Hemphill designed and sculpted it.
The American Women Quarter design
The obverse shows a new portrait of George Washington by Laura Gardin Fraser, originally submitted in the 1931 design competition. Each reverse honors a woman who shaped American history, with her name and the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM and QUARTER DOLLAR. Five honorees were issued each year from 2022 to 2025.
