Doris Doscher (January 24, 1882 - March 9, 1970) was an actress and model who appeared in the movie Birth of a Nation (1915) and posed as Liberty for the United States of America Standing Liberty Quarter. She can also be seen as the model for the Pulitzer Fountain of Abundance by Karl Bitter in front of the Plaza Hotel in New York City

Many numismatists consider the Standing Liberty Quarter among the most attractive of all U.S. coin designs.
