It was one year into the war; the Royal Navy's morale was low; Shannon's provisions were almost exhausted, and she was showing signs of wear. Still, her highly-trained crew quickly destroyed the gun-ports of her heavier-manned opponent. It was an intense 15-minute battle; the bloodiest aboard a frigate during the war that won a critical victory for Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you or someone you know is interested in War of 1812 naval history, this coin will make an ideal gift!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial features:\u003cbr\u003e ¥ A FIRST!
