The 2012 Star Spangled Banner Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated is a commemorative silver dollar coin that holds a special place in American history, marking the bicentennial of the writing of the national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." Designed by Joel Iskowitz and Don Everhart, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin commemorates the anthem's enduring significance in American culture. Specifications: Designer: Joel Iskowitz/Don Everhart Edge: Reeded Diameter: 38.10 millimeters Weight: 26.73 grams Mintage: 41,686 Mint: Philadelphia Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper The issuance of the 2012-P Uncirculated Star Spangled Banner Commemorative Coins serves to honor the pivotal moment in history when Francis Scott Key penned the lyrics to the national anthem on September 14, 1814, during the British War. This anthem, inspired by the resilience of Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore, has become a symbol of American patriotism. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson ordered "The Star-Spangled Banner" to be played at military ceremonies, acknowledging its significance. In 1931, Congress officially adopted the song as the official national anthem of the United States, solidifying its place in American culture. The obverse of the coin features a stirring representation of Lady Liberty holding the 15-star, 15-stripe flag that inspired the anthem. The obverse also includes the inscriptions "Liberty," "In God We Trust," and the year of issue, "2012." On the reverse side of the coin, the Great Seal of the United States takes center stage, surrounded by inscriptions that read "United States of America," "One Dollar," and "E Pluribus Unum." The 2012 Star Spangled Banner Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated coin was issued on March 5, 2012, to honor the anthem that unites Americans and symbolizes the nation's enduring spirit. This coin serves as a lasting tribute to the enduring legacy of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and its place as a symbol of American pride and unity.
