To celebrate the 2025 World’s Fair of Money® in Oklahoma City on August 19-23, the ANA and Minted Assets are partnering to give away a free, special-edition legal-tender coin during the show. Approximately 250 base-metal commemorative coins will be distributed daily at the Minted Assets tables (1132 and 1134) beginning at 1 p.m. Tuesday and at 12 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, while supplies last. Visitors to the Minted Assets table can also meet with the coin’s designer, Joel Iskowitz, on Thursday, August 21.

The obverse features an allegorical figure of Nomisma—the Greek word for money—holding an Oklahoma quarter. In place of the quarter’s issue date, the signature of Susan Gamble, the quarter’s designer, is displayed. The legend E PLURIBUS UNUM appears above the central design, and NOMISMA appears below. The reverse highlights James Earle Fraser’s famous sculpture The End of the Trail. The statue is displayed at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. The statue, which was modeled after Chief John Big Tree, appears in the foreground. A bald eagle is shown soaring above the plains in the background, and Fraser’s portrait is at right. Chang Bullock, the founder and president of Minted Assets, says, “Minted Assets is proud to release this historic legal tender coin honoring the ANA World’s Fair of Money.”
