Officially known as the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine it was the place that Francis Scott Key saw the British bombard the fort for days. He was so inspired to the American flag still waving high above the fort that he wrote The Star-Spangled Banner.
The coin features the annual ceremony of "Defenders Day" which partially recreates the events of the original attack of 1814.
