The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The obverse presents a stunning portrait of George Washington, originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser to commemorate Washington's 200th birthday. Though recommended for the 1932 quarter, this elegant design was passed over in favor of John Flanagan's familiar profile. Now, nearly a century later, Fraser's artistic vision finally graces America's circulating coinage, adding historical depth to each coin in your set.

Reverse: The reverse depicts Dr. Sally Ride next to a window on the space shuttle, inspired by her own words: "But when I wasn't working, I was usually at a window looking down at Earth." The inscription "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is intentionally positioned over the Earth next to America, symbolizing that out of all women in the United States, Dr. Ride was the first into space. This thoughtful design captures both the awe of space exploration and the pride of American achievement, creating a powerful tribute to scientific curiosity and determination.

Why Collectors Choose This Piece

This 2-coin set offers an affordable entry point for collectors building their American Women Quarters collection or those who appreciate coins celebrating scientific achievement. Dr. Sally Ride broke through gender barriers in 1983 when she became the first American woman to travel to space, paving the way for future generations of women in STEM fields. By acquiring both mint marks, you'll own a complete representation of this historic release while honoring a woman who proved that the sky is not the limit.
