A new U.S. coin will be designed based on an early 20th-century leading Hispanic American figure in politics and education. Adelina “Nina” Otero-Warren’s image will be stamped on the U.S. quarter, recognizing her leadership for women’s right to vote in New Mexico. In addition, she played a pioneering role in politics and as the first female superintendent of the Santa Fe public schools.
Otero-Warren designed the tail. The tail includes herself, yucca flowers, New Mexico’s state flowers, and the suffragist slogan in Spanish.
She led the New Mexico chapter of the Congressional Union and took on the superintendent of public schools. She is recognized for fighting for Hispanic and Indigenous New Mexicans. She has helped prevent the banning of their traditional languages and customs.
The American Women Quarters Program will continue to 2025 and issue 5 quarters each year highlighting women with a wide range of accomplishments.
