Key Facts & Value

Key Fact

Historical significanceThe Susan B. Anthony dollar was the first U.S. coin to depict a woman other than Liberty, honoring the suffragist's contributions to women's rights.

Design detailsThe coin features a unique design with a portrait of Anthony on the obverse and an eagle landing on the reverse, symbolizing freedom.

Controversial receptionWhile intended to honor women's rights, the coin was often mistaken for a quarter due to its size and appearance, leading to poor public reception.
