| Additional information |
Fort Moultrie's inclusion in the America the Beautiful series required some geographic nuance: the fort sits within the boundaries of Fort Sumter National Monument, which is how it qualifies under the program's National Park Service mandate despite being neither Fort Sumter itself nor the site of the Civil War's opening bombardment. The original Fort Moultrie — a palmetto-log fortification — repelled a British naval assault in June 1776, one of the earliest significant American victories of the Revolutionary War. The logs absorbed cannonballs rather than shattering, a structural accident that proved decisive.
These five-ounce strikes were produced at Philadelphia with a burnished finish and carry a "P" mint mark.
