Susan Brownell Anthony (February 15, 1820 – March 13, 1906) was an American social reformer and women's rights activist who played a pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement. Born into a Quaker family committed to social equality, she collected anti-slavery petitions at the age of 17. In 1856, she became the New York state agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society.
Frank Gasparro designed both the obverse and reverse of the Susan B. Anthony Dollar. He was Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint from February 23, 1965 to January 16, 1981. Before that he was Assistant Engraver. Besides designing the Susan B. Anthony Dollar, he also designed the Lincoln Memorial reverse on the Cent, the reverse of the Kennedy Half Dollar, the obverse and reverse of the Eisenhower Dollar, and numerous other medals for the U.S. Mint and other private ventures. Mr. Gasparro was born in Philadelphia on August 26, 1909 and died on September 29, 2001.
The reverse design of the Susan B. Anthony Dollar
was chosen to commemorate man's first moon landing.
It was adapted from the Apollo 11 insignia.
