On August 24, 1814, British troops successfully invaded Washington, D.C., where they burned the White House, the Capitol Building, and the Library of Congress. They then turned their attention t o the Chesapeake Bay and the heavily fortified harbor town of Baltimore, Maryland.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAt the mouth of the harbor stood Fort McHenry, an island fortification that needed to be taken before the large British warships could reach\r\nt he city. On September 13, 1814, the British Navy began a 25-hour bombardment of the fort.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAboard one of the British ships was a young American lawyer by the name of Francis Scott Key, who had been negotiating the release of an\r\nimprisoned American doctor. Although the two men were freed, they were not allowed to return to shore until after the battle, leaving them no choice but to witness the attack from the enemy ship anchored in the harbor.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the day and night, the British rained nearly constant cannon fire onto the fort, but were unable to destroy it. At daybreak the next\r\nd ay, Key was inspired to see the American flag still flying over Fort McHenry and wrote a stirring poem entitled \"The Defence of Fort M’Henry.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHis patriotic verse would later be set to music and be called \"The Star-Spangled Banner.\" In 1931, \"The Star-Spangled Banner\" was officially\r\nnamed as our National Anthem.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ctable align=\"Left\" style=\"border:none;box-shadow:none\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border:none;box-shadow:none\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:none;box-shadow:none\" height=\"50\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:none;box-shadow:none\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eLimitation:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9,999 sets worldwide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCu, layered in 24k gold with pad-print\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuality:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.6 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eObverse:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003evaries (12 images with a line from the song)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eReverse:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStar-Spangled Banner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eIssue year:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2021\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"-","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53296455975255,"sku":"9871464","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/9779\/3367\/files\/000001_9871464-01.jpg?v=1776366955","url":"https:\/\/www.americanmint.com\/products\/our-national-anthem-commemorative-coin-set-9871464","provider":"American Mint","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
