American Women Quarters 2024 Ornament - Honorable Patsy Takemoto Mink
- Uniquely designed collectable keepsake highlighting and honoring the accomplishments of Honorable Patsy Takemoto Mink
- Makes the perfect gift for students, teachers, mentors, or someone who inspires you
- Designed and hand-crafted completely in the U.S.A.
The origami crane, a symbol of Japanese culture, represents Patsy Mink’s Asian- American heritage. Her lifelong work for justice and equality is represented by the scales of justice, and the peace sign symbolizes Mink’s lifelong work for peace. The green background represents the thickly forested area of East Maui, her birthplace. The lush green and endangered pink Ko’oloa’ula flowers are a nod to her environmental values, as is the depiction of the endangered silversword plant from the arid slopes of Haleakalā.
The reverse (tails) design of the coin depicts Mink holding her landmark “TITLE IX” legislation. A view of the U.S. Capitol in the background features the south wing, home to the U.S. House of Representatives. The lei she wears represents her home state of Hawaii. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “PATSY TAKEMOTO MINK,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “25 CENTS,” and “EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IN EDUCATION.”
