Impressive 2023 U.S. Circulation Coinage Designs
An iconic Kennedy half dollar, Roosevelt dime, Jefferson nickel, and Lincoln cent are included in the set. The single year of issue Native American $1 coin for 2023 is dedicated to Maria Tallchief, an American ballerina of Osage Nation heritage. Ms. Tallchief is credited for her influence in revolutionizing American ballet as an art form and holds the honor of being America’s first prima ballerina.
The American Women Quarters series commemorates legendary American women for their contributions to fields and causes such as space exploration, suffrage, the arts, sciences, and civil rights. The 2023 dated quarters are graced with stunning reverse designs celebrating the achievements of Bessie Coleman (the first female Native American pilot and first African American to earn an international pilot’s license), Edith Kanaka’ole (an indigenous Hawaiian composer who focused her life’s work on the conservation of Hawaiian lands and culture), First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt (author and steadfast advocate for human rights and civil liberties), Jovita Idar (Mexican American journalist, suffragist and activist for bi-lingual education), and prima ballerina Maria Tallchief. The obverse of each quarter features the rendition of George Washington that was originally recommended by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts for the 1932 Washington Quarter. The handsome right-facing portrait of the first U.S. President was created by acclaimed early 20th-century sculptor Laura Gardin Fraser.
