Description

The American Women Quarters Program is a four-year program that celebrates the accomplishments and contributions made by women to the development and history of the country. Beginning in 2022, and continuing through 2025, the U.S. Mint will issue up to five new reverse designs each year.

The American Women Quarters may feature contributions from a variety of fields, including, but not limited to, suffrage, civil rights, abolition, government, humanities, science, space, and the arts. The women honored will be from ethnically, racially, and geographically diverse backgrounds. The Public Law requires that no living person be featured in the coin designs.

The 2025 Stacey Park Milbern is the 19th coin in the American Women Quarters™ Program.

Depicts a portrait of George Washington facing right, "Liberty" above, "In God We Trust" on the left and date with mint mark below on the right.

The portrait was originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser. It was the recommended design for the 1932 quarter to mark Washington’s 200th birthday, but then-Treasury Secretary Mellon ultimately selected the left-facing John Flannigan design. Laura Gardin Fraser was one of the most prolific female sculptors of the early 20th century. She designed the Alabama Centennial Half Dollar in 1921, becoming the first woman to design a U.S. coin. The Mint used her George Washington design on a 1999 gold commemorative half eagle coin marking the 200th anniversary of Washington’s death.

George Washington (1732–1799) was the first President of the United States (1789–97), the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He presided over the convention that drafted the current United States Constitution and during his lifetime was called the "father of his country".

Depicts Stacey Park Milbern speaking to an audience. She places one hand near her trach while her right-hand faces palm up in a gesture meant to evoke a genuine exchange of ideas and the building of allyship.

Stacey Park Milbern (1987–2020) was a Korean-American disability rights activist and advocate for social justice. Born with muscular dystrophy, she began her activism in her teens, focusing on issues affecting disabled youth and the intersectionality of race, gender, and disability. Milbern was instrumental in the Disability Justice movement, which emphasizes the leadership of marginalized communities within the broader disability rights sphere. She co-founded advocacy organizations and worked tirelessly to create spaces that centered the voices of queer and disabled people of color. Her legacy includes her work on accessible healthcare, community organizing, and her role in shaping policies that prioritize equity and inclusion. Milbern's impact continues to inspire activists around the world.
