Struck in circulation quality, the new coin is available in 100-coin bags, two-roll sets, and three-roll sets, with options from the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints.
This release marks the seventeenth design in the U.S. Mint’s four-year, 20-coin quarter series honoring the accomplishments and contributions of women in American history. The first quarter of 2025 featured journalist and activist Ida B. Wells, with the final three designs scheduled for release later this year.
Juliette Gordon Low is best remembered as the founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA. Born on October 31, 1860, in Savannah, Georgia, she spent her early years immersed in the arts and dedicated to helping others. She married William Mackay Low in 1886, though the union proved unhappy.
While living in Europe, she met Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, whose work inspired her to create a similar organization for girls in America. Upon returning to the United States, she laid the groundwork for what would become the Girl Scouts of the USA. Under her leadership, the group grew steadily and contributed to national efforts during World War I by supporting food conservation, aiding the Red Cross, and participating in other wartime initiatives.
Low eventually stepped down from her U.S. post as head of the organization to focus on expanding the Girl Scout movement internationally. She died of cancer in 1927 at the age of 66 in her hometown of Savannah.
Juliette Gordon Low Quarter Designs
A likeness of Juliette Gordon Low appears on the reverse (tails side) of each new quarter, shown alongside the original Girl Scout Trefoil, which she designed and patented.

Inscriptions include “JULIETTE GORDON LOW,” “FOUNDER of GIRL SCOUTS of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA,” “QUARTER DOLLAR,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The reverse was designed by U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program artist Tom Hipschen and sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Eric David Custer.
Appearing on all quarters in the series, the obverse (heads side) features Laura Gardin Fraser’s portrait of George Washington, originally intended for the 1932 quarter honoring the 200th anniversary of his birth. Obverse inscriptions read “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2025.”
