Colossal Star-Spangled Banner Commemorative Coin

On September 13, 1814, Francis Scott Key stood aboard an American ship as the British bombarded Maryland's Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. Inspired by the sight of a lone American flag still flying over Fort McHenry at daybreak, Key wrote a stirring poem entitled "The Defense of Fort McHenry". His patriotic verse would later be set to music and be called the Star Spangled Banner. In 1931, theStar-Spangled Banner was officially named as our National Anthem.
