A Tribute to Fort McHenry and American Resilience

Fort McHenry, located in Baltimore, Maryland, holds a revered place in U.S. history as the site that inspired the writing of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the national anthem of the United States. During the War of 1812, American forces successfully defended the fort against a powerful British naval attack in September 1814. Witnessing the American flag still flying after the bombardment, Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the poem that later became the national anthem.

The inclusion of both a commemorative quarter and historical postage stamp in this set emphasizes Fort McHenry’s enduring significance as a symbol of strength, patriotism, and national identity.

Part of the America the Beautiful Quarters Program

The 2013 Fort McHenry Quarter is part of the U.S. Mint’s highly popular America the Beautiful Quarters® Program, which ran from 2010 through 2021. This program honored 56 national parks and historic sites across all 50 states, U.S. territories, and Washington, D.C. Fort McHenry was selected as Maryland’s featured site and is notably the 19th coin released in the series.

The reverse design of the coin depicts the historic fort during the War of 1812, proudly displaying the American flag that became a powerful symbol of perseverance. The artwork captures the emotional and historical weight of that moment, making this coin a standout in the series.

Uncirculated Coin with Exceptional Detail

This set features an uncirculated 2013 Fort McHenry quarter, meaning it has never been used in everyday commerce. As a result, the coin retains its original mint luster, crisp details, and sharp imagery. Collectors prize uncirculated coins for their superior condition and long-term value, making this an excellent addition to any U.S. coin collection or America the Beautiful set.

Vintage Fort McHenry Postage Stamp

Complementing the coin is a vintage unused U.S. postage stamp depicting Fort McHenry. While the exact design may vary based on availability, each stamp reinforces the historical importance of the site and adds a unique philatelic element to the collection. Combining numismatics (coin collecting) with stamp collecting enhances the appeal of this set, making it a multi-dimensional collectible.

Informative and Eye-Catching Display

The coin and stamp are housed in a colorful, educational insert that highlights Fort McHenry’s history and significance. The display includes interesting facts, historical insights, and engaging visuals, making it ideal for both collectors and educators.
