The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The timeless portrait of George Washington graces the obverse, faithfully rendered from John Flanagan's iconic 1932 design. Washington's dignified profile faces left, encircled by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST." This enduring design connects every America the Beautiful quarter to our nation's founding father and his legacy of leadership.

Reverse: The reverse design powerfully depicts Sergeant William Jasper's heroic moment during the Battle of Sullivan's Island on June 28, 1776. As British warships bombarded the palmetto-log fort, a cannonball severed the flagpole, sending the South Carolina regimental colors tumbling to the beach outside the walls. Without hesitation, Jasper leaped over the ramparts under withering enemy fire, retrieved the flag, and raised it again on a makeshift staff, rallying the defenders to continue their resistance. The design captures Jasper in this legendary act of courage, holding the flag aloft while British ships fire in the background. This decisive American victory prevented the British from capturing Charleston and boosted patriot morale across the colonies. Inscriptions reading "FORT MOULTRIE," "SOUTH CAROLINA," "2016," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" frame this tribute to Revolutionary War valor.

Why Collectors Choose This Piece

The 2016 Fort Moultrie quarter commemorates one of the first major American victories of the Revolutionary War.

Sergeant Jasper's selfless act of courage became legendary, and the fort was later renamed in honor of its commander, Colonel William Moultrie. For collectors, this quarter represents both Revolutionary War heritage and numismatic value as part of the comprehensive America the Beautiful series. The Philadelphia Mint strike and brilliant uncirculated condition make this coin ideal for those seeking pristine examples of American commemorative coinage. Whether displayed as a tribute to Revolutionary courage or preserved within a complete 56-quarter set, this piece connects you to the spirit of defiance that forged our nation.
