With regard to the total number of real women ever portrayed on U.S. coins, our records show the following:
Circulating Coins:
Sacagewea on the dollar coin: 1999-Present
Susan B. Anthony on the dollar coin: 1979-1981
Commemorative Coins:
Queen Isabella of Spain on the Columbian Exposition Quarter Dollar: 1893
Eunice Kennedy Shriver Silver Dollar: 1995
Virginia Dare, with her mother Eleonor Dare, on the Roanoke Island, North Carolina Half Dollar: 1937
(Virginia Dare is mentioned by name on page 6 the Annual Report of the Director of the Mint for FY 1937. Other publications, such as R.S. Yeoman's "Guide Book of United States Coins," and Q. David Bowers' "Commemorative Coins of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia," have identified her mother as Eleonor Dare.) Although it could be argued that the mother and daughter images on the Roanoke coin don't fall into the classical "portrait" category, all available evidence indicates that the image was meant to represent real people.
Therefore, four real women have been portrayed on U.S. coins in the history of the U.S. Mint.

Actually there are three women featured on circulating coins, and I mean real person, not allegorial. They are:
1) Sacagawea - On the golden dollar coin.
2) Susan B Anthony - On the clad dollar coin.
3) Helen Keller - On the 2003 Alabama state quarter.

The last two were Sakajawea and Susan Anthony. Before that there was Annie Williams who's likeness appeared on the Morgan dollar, and Theresa Franchesca who appeared on the peace dollar. Please don't mind the spelling.
