The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: Features the restored 1932 portrait of George Washington by Laura Gardin Fraser, originally created for the Washington quarter but not used until this series. This right-facing profile represents a fresh perspective on America's first president, complementing the program's celebration of women's contributions to American history.

Reverse: Captures Anna May Wong in an intimate, contemplative moment—her head gracefully resting on her hand, surrounded by the luminous glow of marquee lights that symbolize her stardom. The design evokes the golden age of Hollywood while honoring Wong's resilience and artistry. Every detail, from the soft curves of her pose to the radiant backdrop, tells the story of a woman who commanded the screen despite facing relentless discrimination.

Why Collectors Choose This Piece

This roll represents more than just 40 quarters—it's a tangible connection to a groundbreaking moment in American history. Anna May Wong's journey from a 14-year-old extra in "The Red Lantern" (1919) to an international film icon embodies determination and excellence. Her career spanned over 60 films, multiple languages, and continents, making her a true pioneer who paved the way for greater Asian American representation in entertainment.

As the first Asian American to receive this honor on U.S. circulating coinage, this quarter holds special significance for collectors of American Women Quarters, diversity-themed numismatics, and Hollywood memorabilia.
