Anna May Wong occupies a singular place in both Asian American history and the history of women in Hollywood. Born in Los Angeles to a working-class Chinese American family, she rose to international fame at a time when Asian roles were almost always played by white actors in yellowface and when the opportunities available to Asian American performers were painfully limited. Despite her talent, intelligence, and striking screen presence, she was often forced into stereotyped or marginal roles, denied romantic leads, and excluded from the full recognition she deserved. Yet she persisted—working across the United States, Europe, and Asia—to build a career that challenged boundaries and widened the possibilities for performers who came after her. This coin honors her legacy as the first Asian American woman featured on U.S. currency and commemorates her survival, artistry, and quiet defiance in an industry that rarely rewarded her. It stands as both a tribute to her personal resilience and as a reminder of the long, complicated struggle for authentic representation of Asian Americans on screen.
