Historical Significance
Located at Put-in-Bay, Ohio (South Bass Island), the memorial honors Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s 1813 victory at the Battle of Lake Erie, a turning point in the War of 1812 that helped secure control of the region. Just as importantly, the “International Peace” theme recognizes the enduring peace shared by the United States, Canada, and Great Britain after the conflict—making this coin both a military-history and diplomacy-focused collectible.
Collectibility
The 2013-P issue is a strong, affordable album coin for ATB set builders, Ohio-themed collections, and anyone assembling a U.S. history quarter run. Collectors often look for sharp monument details and clean fields for the best eye appeal.
