Beschreibung
The 2023 United States Mint Uncirculated Set includes two cards, each containing 10 encapsulated coins with uncirculated finishes. One card holds uncirculated coins from the United States Mint in Philadelphia, and the other holds those minted at Denver. Certificates of authenticity and coin specifications are printed on the back of each card.
Each of the two cards includes:
- All five 2023 American Women Quarters™
- Bessie Coleman – first African American and first Native American woman to obtain a pilot’s license
- Edith Kanaka‛ole – indigenous Hawaiian composer, chanter, kumu hula, and cultural icon
- Eleanor Roosevelt – civil liberties and human rights advocate, leader, reformer, first lady, and author
- Jovita Idar – Mexican-American journalist, activist, teacher, and suffragist
- Maria Tallchief – America’s first major prima ballerina
One Native American $1 Coin – The obverse retains the central figure of Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean-Baptiste. Inscriptions are “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.” The 2023 reverse design features Maria Tallchief in balletic pose. In addition to Tallchief, four other American Indian ballerinas from Oklahoma achieved international recognition in the 20th century, including her younger sister Marjorie Tallchief, Yvonne Chouteau, Rosella Hightower, and Moscelyne Larkin. Celebrated as the “Five Moons,” their legacy of achievement and inclusion continues to influence ballet today. A nod to the Five Moons is presented in the lunar motif, while the four ballerinas in the background are symbolic of both Tallchief’s American Indian ballerina contemporaries and the generations of dancers they inspired. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “MARIA TALLCHIEF,” “$1,” and “AMERICAN INDIANS IN BALLET.”
The year of minting, mint mark, and “E PLURIBUS UNUM” are incused on the edge.
