| Reverse description | Three-quarter-length portrait of Ida B. Wells facing slightly left, depicted in period dress with confident, forward-looking bearing, occupying the central field against a frosted proof background. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs along the upper periphery, with IDA B. WELLS inscribed to the right of the figure. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM curves along the left interior border, while the descriptive epithets JOURNALIST, SUFFRAGIST, and CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST appear separated by dots along the lower periphery, accompanied by the denomination 25 CENTS. The engravers' initials EH and PH appear discreetly in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Ida B. Wells was added to the American Women Quarters Program after Congress authorized the series in 2020 to run through 2025. Wells's selection places one of the most consequential investigative journalists of the 19th century — whose anti-lynching reporting made her a target of mob violence and forced her into exile from Memphis in 1892 — into a series that has otherwise leaned toward scientists and suffragists.
The .999 silver strikes are collector-only pieces produced at San Francisco or West Point; none entered general circulation.
