The new Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial Quarter, the seventeenth issue of the series, and second design for 2013, will soon be in circulation. On Saturday, April 20th, the official launch ceremony for the new Perry’s Victory quarter will take place on the lower plaza of the memorial at the Put-in-Bay, Lake Erie, Ohio.
With only 138 residents, the tiny village of Put-in-Bay, located on South Bass Island, can only be reached by ferry. After the launch ceremony on the 20th, the mint will hold a coin exchange, and the public can trade cash for $10 rolls of the new quarters featuring the memorial column in the background, with a statue of Commodore Perry in the foreground. The 2013 series quarters honor some of America’s more interesting national forests, parks and memorials – White Mountain, Perry’s Victory, Great Basin, Fort McHenry and Mount Rushmore. Add the new Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial Quarters to your collection now.
