Maria Tallchief, a luminary in the world of dance and a Native American trailblazer, joins the American Women's Quarter program.
In honoring Maria Tallchief, this series pays tribute to diverse American women who made indelible marks in fields like suffrage, civil rights, arts, and sciences.
Maria Tallchief's extraordinary journey from moving to New York at 17 to becoming the "Sugar Plum Fairy" in The Nutcracker unfolds on the coin.
The captivating reverse also features additional inscriptions like "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "QUARTER DOLLAR," and "MARIA TALLCHIEF."
The common obverse, featuring a portrait of George Washington, holds historical significance. Originally sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser for the 1932 quarter.
Bags of 100 coins are available in both "P" and "D" mintmark options for $45 per roll. A two-roll set, combining one "P" and one "D" roll, is priced at $40.
As a reminder of Maria Tallchief's impact on dance and American history, these quarters stand as numismatic treasures.
