Historical Significance
The Battle of Saratoga is widely regarded as one of the most important victories of the American Revolutionary War. The American triumph convinced France to formally ally with the colonies, providing critical military and financial support that helped secure eventual independence. The reverse design captures the historic surrender that changed the course of the war.
Collectibility
With a collector mintage of only 17,563 pieces, the 2015-P Saratoga is among the scarcer issues in the America the Beautiful 5 oz series. Its Revolutionary War theme, attractive historical design, and relatively low mintage make it a popular choice among collectors building complete Philadelphia-mint ATB sets. Examples with the original Mint box and COA remain especially desirable.
