¼ Dollar "Washington Quarter" (Bessie Coleman)
Obverse: Portrait of George Washington, facing right., Reverse: Bessie Coleman as she suits up in preparation for flight. Her expression is reflective of her determination to take to the skies, the only place she experienced a freedom she did not have on the ground. The date on the coin, 15 June 1921, is when she received her pilot's license.
