Interesting fact
The USS Constitution, also known as "Old Ironsides," is a historic American warship that played a significant role in the War of 1812 against the British. The ship was launched in 1797 and was in service for over 40 years, during which time it won several battles and became a symbol of American naval power. The coin featuring the USS Constitution is a non-circulating coin issued by the Marshall Islands in 1997 as part of a series commemorating "History's Great Fighting Ships." It is made of copper-nickel and weighs 29.5 grams.
