2020 Women’s Suffrage Centennial Silver Dollar Celebrating a Change Decades in the Making
This year, the United State Mint’s new 2020 Women’s Suffrage Centennial Silver Dollar honors the 100th anniversary of the barrier-breaking 19th Amendment. Ratified in 1920, the bill was introduced to Congress in 1919 by Woman Suffrage Committee Chairman James R. Mann of Illinois, who famously proclaimed: “The time is ripe, the people are ready and the beneficiaries of this amendment are eager, willing and able to perform the duties of citizenship.”
We celebrate a century of voting rights for women—a movement that changed the American electorate forever—with the 2020 Women's Suffrage Centennial Silver Dollar, in proof and uncirculated versions, and a limited 2020 Women's Suffrage Centennial Proof Silver Dollar and Medal Set. This set features a 99.9 percent silver medal with its own unique design—available only in this set. Don’t miss the unique opportunity to pay tribute to an important moment in American history, to honor previous generations of women in your own family, and to inspire future generations of women voters with this exquisite keepsake. Surcharges from this program are authorized to be paid to the Smithsonian Institution’s American Women’s History Initiative for research and creation of exhibits and programs to highlight the history and impact of women in the United States.
“ALL WOMEN need the ballot, because they are concerned equally with men in good and bad government; and equally responsible for civic righteousness.” Women’s Suffrage Party flier, Why Women Want to Vote
The United States Mint marks the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage with exquisite treasures crafted and engraved by women artists. The 2020 Women's Suffrage Centennial Silver Dollar, available in proof and uncirculated finishes, tells the story of the fight for women’s voting rights through richly detailed imagery weaving together threads from our Nation’s past and present to inspire the future. The 99.9 percent silver coin’s obverse design features three women in different hats representing the many decades the suffrage movement spanned, while the reverse image salutes the centennial year of the women’s suffrage movement.
