Sullivan's Island, June 28, 1776: a palmetto log fort absorbed British cannonballs rather than shattering, the spongy wood deadening the impact while Colonel William Moultrie's garrison held. The victory blocked the Royal Navy's first attempt to seize Charleston and kept the southern colonies in American hands for four more years.
Niue has issued commemoratives under licensing agreements since the 1990s, functioning as a revenue mechanism for the territory rather than a circulation currency. The copper-nickel composition places this firmly in the budget collector tier of that program.
