Abstract

The article focuses on the unveiling of the new Celia Cruz quarter, set to be released in 2024 as part of the American Women Quarters Program, which honors notable women in U.S. history. The quarter features a design by U.S. medallic artist Phebe Hemphill, depicting Cruz in a Cuban Rumba dress with her signature phrase "Azúcar!" The design process involved extensive research and collaboration with Cruz's former manager and various historical institutions to ensure accuracy. This quarter marks a significant milestone as it is the first to feature an Afro-Latina, celebrating Cruz's impact on salsa music and her legacy as an iconic figure for Latinos worldwide.
