Rev. Dr Pauli Murray is featured on the 1th coin released for 2024 and the 11th coin in this program. 

This offering is for 4 Dr. Pauli Murray US Mint American Woman Quarters from US Mint Rolls (24WRB). Two coins, each from Philadelphia and Denver Mints.

Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray was a poet, writer, activist, lawyer, and priest. To this day, Murray is regarded as one of the most important social justice advocates of the twentieth century.

The coin’s reverse depicts Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray’s eyeglass-framed face within the shape of the word “HOPE,” which is symbolic of Murray’s belief that significant societal reforms were possible when rooted in hope. A line from her poem “Dark Testament,” characterizes hope as “A SONG IN A WEARY THROAT,” an inscription in the design. Additional inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “25₵,” “THE REVEREND DR. PAULI MURRAY,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”

The common obverse (heads) depicts a portrait of George Washington. This design was originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser as a candidate entry for the 1932 quarter, which honored the bicentennial of George Washington’s birth. Inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2024.”
