This meticulously crafted coin, struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, is a testament to the historic significance of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Obverse Design: The obverse of this exquisite proof coin features a stirring portrayal of Lady Liberty, her gaze fixed upon the flag as she holds the Torch of Enlightenment. The American flag waves proudly in the background, and above it, the words "In God We Trust" serve as a reminder of the nation's faith and unity. The year "2012" is prominently displayed to commemorate the bicentennial anniversary. Reverse Design: The reverse of the coin showcases a beautifully detailed depiction of the American flag as it flew over Fort McHenry during the British War of 1812. The flag, with its distinctive 15 stars and 15 stripes, symbolizes the fortitude and determination of those who defended their homeland. The words "E Pluribus Unum" and "One Dollar" are inscribed below, reaffirming the motto of unity that defines our great nation.

This coin pays homage to that historic moment when the flag, illuminated by the dawn's early light, symbolized the resilience and strength of a young nation.
