Each of the two cards includes the following 2023-dated coins with uncirculated finishes, along with a certificate of authenticity:
- All Five 2023 American Women Quarters™ honoring:
Bessie Coleman—pilot, advocate, and pioneer who flew to great heights as the first African American and first Native American woman pilot, and first African American to earn an international pilot’s license.
Edith Kanakaʻole—indigenous Hawaiian composer, chanter, kumu hula, custodian of native culture, traditions, and natural land.

Jovita Idar—Mexican-American journalist, activist, teacher, community organizer, champion of education, and suffragist.
Maria Tallchief—America’s first major prima ballerina who broke barriers as a Native American ballerina. - One Native American $1 Coin featuring Maria Tallchief in balletic pose. Maria Tallchief was America’s first major prima ballerina, and she and her husband, George Balanchine, transformed American classical ballet. 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.”
