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的设计说明了墨西哥裔美国人的记者，活动家，老师和选举权主义者，双手紧握在她面前。在她的身体大纲中，代表她为之奋斗的事业的铭文以及她贡献的区域报纸的大小和位置，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.

伊达尔（Idár）于1885年9月7日出生于德克萨斯州拉雷多（Laredo），于1946年6月15日在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市（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的反向设计与乔治·华盛顿的肖像搭配，这是美国妇女区计划中所有硬币的常见正面。

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.

该正面的设计是在上个世纪提交的，由美国雕塑家劳拉·加丁·弗雷泽（Laura Gardin Fraser）举行的公共设计竞赛，为华盛顿四分之一美元寻求艺术，将于1932年发行。弗雷泽（Fraser）的设计被精美艺术委员会推荐，但CFA委员会的选择被托雷斯·秘书的安德鲁·W·梅洛（Andrew W.弗拉纳根（Flanagan）的华盛顿肖像从1932年开始为四分之一美元增光添彩，直到2022年20 Coin American女性计划开始时暂时取代。
