Who was Jovita Idar?

Jovita Idár (1885–1946) was a pioneering Mexican-American journalist, activist, and teacher from Texas who fought for civil rights, women's suffrage, and educational reform in the early 20th century. She famously defied Texas Rangers to protect her newspaper, El Progreso, and founded La Liga Femenil Mexicanista (League of Mexican Women).

Found in a Roll of Quarters

Found this in a roll of quarters I got for laundry. Love the details on her dress and the complete uniqueness of it. I’ve never seen this quarter before anyone know anything about it?

Felt odd in my hand when a clerk handed it to me

Anyone can tell me more about this quarter? It’s noticeably lighter than a regular quarter. Never seen one before
