1980s VINTAGE U.S.S. CONSTITUTION OLD IRONSIDES SHIP Souvenir coin / token

Description: A brass U.S.S. Constitution souvenir token. It measures 1 1/4" in diameter. We purchased this when we visited the ship in the 1980s. Own a remembrance of the most famous ship in US history. USS Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides, is a three-masted wooden-hulled heavy frigate of the United States Navy. She is the world's oldest commissioned naval warship still afloat.[9][Note 1] She was launched in 1797, one of six original frigates authorized for construction by the Naval Act of 1794 and the third constructed. She was built at Edmund Hartt's shipyard in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts. Her first duties were to provide protection for American merchant shipping during the Quasi-War with France and to defeat the Barbary pirates in the First Barbary War. Constitution is most noted for her actions during the War of 1812 against the United Kingdom, when she captured numerous merchant ships and defeated five British warships: HMS Guerriere, Java, Pictou, Cyane, and Levant. The battle with Guerriere earned her the nickname "Old Ironsides" and public adoration that has repeatedly saved her from scrapping. The Constitution was retired from active service in 1881 and served as a receiving ship until being designated a museum ship in 1907. Please look at pictures for condition.
