Comments: The obverse of the this coin is emblematic of the Battle of Baltimore at Fort McHenry and features Liberty holding the 15 Star, 15 Stripe Star Spangled Banner Flag.  The coin's reverse features a waving modern American Flag.  Every once and a while the US Mint releases a modern commemorative dollar with a nice design.  Even though I don't really collect US coins anymore I picked this one up for the design and it does (sort of) fit into my crown collection.
