The obverse design for the silver dollar features an image of Liberty waving the 15-star, 15-stripe flag with Fort McHenry shown in the background. Inscriptions include "Liberty", "In God We Trust", and the date "2012".
On the reverse is an image of the modern American flag waving. The pairing of the Star Spangled Banner flag with the modern 13-stripe, 50-star flag conveys a sense of continuity from the time of the War of 1812 to the present. Inscriptions include "One Dollar", "E Pluribus Unum", and "United States of America".
The coins were available in individual proof or uncirculated versions or as included within a two coin proof set, together with the gold coin from the program.
The Star Spangled Banner Bicentennial Silver Dollar Set included the proof version of the silver dollar, along with a reproduction of Francis Scott Key’s original manuscript for his poem and a historical narrative with artwork depicting the battle between U.S. and British forces at Fort McHenry.
