The coin was the ninth in the four-year, 20-coin America Women Quarters Program launched in 2021 and scheduled to end later in 2025.

硬幣是2021年啟動的四年，20-Coin America婦女區計劃的第九個，併計劃於2025年晚些時候結束。

The reverse subject’s depiction was designed and sculpted by U.S. Mint Medallic Artist John P. McGraw, whose designer’s initials, JPM, appear on her arm, to the left of Idár’s clasped hands.

反向主題的描述是由美國薄荷獎章藝術家約翰·麥格勞（John P.

McGraw’s design illustrates the Mexican-American journalist, activist, teacher and suffragist with her hands clasped in front of her. Within her body outline, inscriptions representing the causes she fought for and the regional newspapers to which she contributed are sized and positioned so as to also represent the position of her arms and the construction of her blouse.

McGraw的設計說明了墨西哥裔美國人的記者，活動家，老師和選舉權主義者，雙手緊握在她面前。在她的身體大綱中，代表她為之奮鬥的事業的銘文以及她貢獻的區域報紙的大小和位置，以代表她的手臂的位置和上衣的建造。

The inscriptions, progressing across her blouse from the viewer’s right to left, are QUARTER DOLLAR, TEACHER, MEXICAN AMERICAN RIGHTS, JOVITA IDÁR, NURSE, EVOLUCIÓN, ASTREA, EL HERALDO CRISTIANO, LA CRUZ BLANCA, JOURNALIST, LA CRÓNICA, EL PROGRESO, LA LIGA FEMENIL MEXICANISTA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

The inscriptions, progressing across her blouse from the viewer's right to left, are Quarter Dollar, Teacher, Mexican American Rights, Jovita Idár, Nurse, Evolution, Astrea, El Heraldo Cristiano, La Cruz Blanca, Journalist, The Chronicle, El Progreso, The Mexican Women's League, E Pluribus Unum, and Unum States of America.

Idár was born Sept. 7, 1885, in Laredo, Texas, and died June 15, 1946, at age 60 in San Antonio, Texas.

伊達爾（Idár）於1885年9月7日出生於德克薩斯州拉雷多（Laredo），於1946年6月15日在德克薩斯州聖安東尼奧市（San Antonio）逝世。

McGraw’s reverse design is paired with the portrait of George Washington facing right that is the common obverse for all the coins in the American Women Quarters Program.

McGraw的反向設計與喬治·華盛頓的肖像搭配，這是美國婦女區計劃中所有硬幣的常見正面。

That obverse design was submitted in the previous century, by American sculptor Laura Gardin Fraser for a public design competition seeking art for the Washington quarter dollar to be released in 1932. Fraser’s designs were recommended by the Commission of Fine Arts but the CFA’s choice was overruled by Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon in favor of a left-facing design by sculptor John Flanagan. Flanagan’s Washington portrait graced the quarter dollar from 1932 until temporarily replaced at the start of the 20-coin American Women program in 2022.

該正面的設計是在上個世紀提交的，由美國雕塑家勞拉·加丁·弗雷澤（Laura Gardin Fraser）舉行的公共設計競賽，為華盛頓四分之一美元尋求藝術，將於1932年發行。弗雷澤（Fraser）的設計被精美藝術委員會推薦，但CFA委員會的選擇被托雷斯·秘書的安德魯·W·梅洛（Andrew W.弗拉納根（Flanagan）的華盛頓肖像從1932年開始為四分之一美元增光添彩，直到2022年20 Coin American女性計劃開始時暫時取代。
