Description

This 2020 medal commemorates the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in the United States. Ratified on August 18, 1920, the amendment was the culmination of a movement that had begun at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 and endured decades of activism, protest, and sacrifice. The Women's Suffrage Centennial medal honors the generations of women who fought for this fundamental democratic right, including Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Alice Paul, and countless others whose names are less well known. The U.S. Mint's decision to produce this medal reflected the national significance of the anniversary and the ongoing recognition of women's contributions to American democracy. The medal joins a tradition of Mint products honoring the suffrage movement, including the Susan B. Anthony dollar and the 2020 Women's Suffrage Centennial silver dollar.
