Candidate designs for the Fort Moultrie National Park quarter
In late 2014, both the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee and the Commission of Fine Arts reviewed several candidate designs for the reverse of the 2016 Fort Moultrie (Fort Sumter National Monument) quarter.
CCAC discussed the potential of several designs before finally giving their recommendation to a design showing a sergeant returning the regimental flag to the ramparts, as a British ship attacks in the distance. The CFA gave its support to a closer view of a sergeant holding the flag, with cannon fire exploding behind him.
Located in South Carolina, Fort Moultrie (Fort Sumter National Monument) stands as a historic reminder of our nation’s past.
