Historical Significance
Located in New York, Saratoga National Historical Park preserves the site of the 1777 Battles of Saratoga, widely regarded as the turning point of the American Revolutionary War. The American victory convinced France to formally support the colonies, significantly influencing the outcome of the war. The reverse design emphasizes the sacrifice and determination of the Continental Army.
Collectibility
The 2015-D Saratoga Quarter is a cornerstone issue for America the Beautiful collectors and those interested in Revolutionary War history. Circulated examples are plentiful, while uncirculated coins with strong strikes and clean surfaces are preferred for complete date-and-mint sets.
