This finely detailed bronze medallion features the USS Constitution in an homage to Mississinewa 1812 "sailing on" to a new property in 2024. Sales of this handsome coin will support development of the property purchased by the Mississinewa Battlefield Society to host the Mississinewa 1812 Living History event starting in October 2025.
Known affectionately as "Old Ironsides" due to its sturdy oak hull's resistance to cannonballs, the USS Constitution represents the enduring constitution of the Mississinewa Battlefield Society and their passion to bring history to life for the local community.
The USS Constitution is a warship commissioned by the US Congress in 1794 and launched in 1797. Old Ironsides is still operated by the United Sates Navy, making it the oldest commissioned ship in the US Navy! Through its sailing career, the USS Constitution shone brightest during the War of 1812. Over three engagements, the warship and her crew defeated four British frigates and contributed to the United States' continued independence.
