Commentary

Lancé au début 2010, ‘America the beautiful’ est un programme de frappe de 56 monnaies commémoratives de 1/4 dollar illustrant les parcs nationaux et d’autres sites nationaux des États-Unis d’Amérique.
Bâti en 1776, le Fort McHenry est un fort côtier défendant la Baie de Baltimore. Il devint célèbre lors de la Guerre de 1812. Pendant 25 heures, la flotte britannique bombarda le fort qui résista et évita ainsi la prise de Baltimore..
