The coin honors Queen Isabella of Spain who sponsored Columbus' travels, which started the colonization of America by Europeans. Feminist Susan B. Anthony was responsible for the creation of the "Board of Lady Managers," which coordinated women's activities and exhibits at the fair, and the creation of this coin.
