<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 25475109, member: 4626&quot;]Right person, wrong coin.&nbsp; She didn&#039;t design the buffalo nickel; her husband James Earl Fraser did.&nbsp; But she was indeed the first woman to design a US coin: she designed the Alabama centennial commemorative half dollar in 1920 (actually minted in 1921).&nbsp; She also designed the 1922 Grant memorial half dollar and $5 gold piece, and she co-designed the 1926-1939 Oregon trail memorial half dollar with her husband.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, she designed the original Washington quarter, although her design wasn&#039;t used... until 1999, where her original obverse and reverse meant for the quarter was used for the $5 gold commemorative marking the 200th anniversary of Washington&#039;s death.&nbsp; Her original Washington obverse has also been used since 2022 for the American women quarters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
