The US Mint has issued several coins commemorating the Bicentennial of the War of 1812.  We are pleased to announce that a limited number of these coins will be available for purchase in the Keeper’s House gift shop.  The silver coin proof is $54.95 to purchase.  There is a mintage limit of 500,000 through the US Mint.

The Star-Spangled Banner Commemorative Coin Act was signed into law on August 16, 2010 in commemoration of the bicentennial of the writing of our national anthem.  According to the law, the designs shall be emblematic of the War of 1812, particularly the Battle of Baltimore that formed the basis for the lyrics of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Visit the gift shop to buy your coin before they are all gone!
