2024 PDS + S Clad Proof Celia Cruz Women Quarters 4 Pre-sale



The 2024 Celia Cruz Quarter is the 14th coin in the series. Celia Cruz was a Cuban-American singer, cultural icon, and one of the most popular Latin artists of the 20th century.

Celia Cruz was born Celia Caridad Cruz Alfonso in Havana, Cuba, on October 21, 1925. She grew up in the working-class neighborhood of Santos Suárez, where she was exposed to diverse musicians and performers who influenced her future singing career.

Cruz was drawn to music from an early age. As a teenager, her aunt and cousin took her to cabarets to perform. She studied voice, theory, and piano at Havana’s National Conservatory of Music.

In the late 1940s, she competed on an amateur radio show contest called “The Tea Hour.” As a result of her growing radio fame, she came to the attention of influential producers and musicians. She was hired as the singer for Las Mulatas Del Fuego, a dance group that traveled throughout Latin America. In 1950, she became the lead female singer for La Sonora Matancera, Cuba’s most popular orchestra. Over the next years with the orchestra, her star continued to rise.

As the Cuban Revolution raged, she made the decision not to return to Cuba. She moved to the U.S. and married Pedro Knight, her longtime friend and trumpet player. She joined the Tito Puente Orchestra, a group central to the new sound developing in the 1960s and ’70s: salsa. Salsa was music born of Cuban and Afro-Latin mixed musical tradition.

In 1974, Cruz joined a new record label, “Fania,” which was devoted solely to the genre. She was the only woman in the Fania All-Stars and one of the few women to succeed in the male-dominated salsa world. She also appeared in several Hollywood movies and earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Cruz’s numerous honors and awards include four Latin Grammy awards, a Presidential Medal of Arts, and three Grammy awards, including a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Grammy. She was inducted into Billboard’s Latin Music Hall of Fame and the International Latin Music Hall of Fame.

Celia Cruz died in New Jersey on July 16, 2003. Her songs, performances, and spirit remain international treasures. Cruz’s influence reached well beyond her music. She was a cultural icon, celebrating her Cuban culture, which helped other Afro-Latino Americans embrace their heritage.

The Osage Tribal Council gave her a name selected by her grandmother, “Wa-Xthe-Thoṉba,” which translates to “Two Standards.” It reflects Tallchief’s life in two worlds – as an accomplished dance professional, and as a member of the Osage Nation, two identities that she proudly represented throughout her life.

This Quarter is the sixth coin in the series. She was the first African American and first Native American woman pilot. She was also the first African American to earn an international pilot’s license.

Coleman was born on January 26, 1892 in Atlanta, Texas during a time of overt racism and segregation laws. After being refused admission into every U.S. flying school she approached, Coleman learned French. She traveled to Paris in 1920 to attend the well-known Caudron Brothers’ School of Aviation in Le Crotoy, France. She was the only student of color in her class.

On June 15, 1921, she received her international pilot’s license from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. She returned to the U.S. and performed in her first airshow in September 1922. She became known for “loop-the-loops” and making a figure 8.

She died on April 30, 1926 as a passenger in a practice flight for a celebration in Jacksonville, Florida. Her flying career, although brief, inspires many young African Americans to pursue the field of aviation. Her legacy continues through the establishment of aviation clubs and tributes, including the 1995 U.S. postal stamp issued in her honor.

River of No Return and Missions as part of 2019 set

√ All 2019 P&D Set 10x Complete ATB Lowell - River No Return





Background

The San Antonio Missions were among the largest concentrations of Spanish missions in North America, established in the 1700s, and helped create the foundation for the City of San Antonio, TX. The construction of aqueducts and irrigation canals (acequias) brought water to the missions sustaining farming and ranching. The missions’ toolmaking, carpentry, looming, spinning and masonry also contributed to the community’s ability to be self-sustaining.


This design depicts elements of the Spanish Colonial Real coin to pay tribute to the missions. Within the quadrants are symbols of the missions: wheat symbolizes farming; the arches and bell symbolize community; a lion represents Spanish cultural heritage; and a symbol of the San Antonio River represents irrigation methods and life-sustaining resources.
