A compact program with a wide field of achievement
The honorees represent contributions in suffrage, civil rights, science, arts, government, aviation, and other fields, with a new reverse for each woman.
Fraser's Washington portrait—originally prepared for the 1932 competition—became the common obverse, linking the modern program to an earlier design history.
Obverse, reverse, and the details that identify the type
Confirm the major design, date, and mint mark before studying smaller die differences.
The main portrait and date
Laura Gardin Fraser's right-facing Washington portrait carries LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the date and mint mark.
Denomination, subject, and mint mark
Each honoree receives an independent composition rather than a fixed template, so inscriptions and portrait treatment vary widely.
