It's time to pay attention if you haven't already to the Rwandan Nautical Ounce Series. On the back of the sixth edition in this series is the most well-known ship to have ever set sail for the United States Navy.

Huzzah! Her sides are made of iron!
USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned ship in the United States Navy. Naval officers and crew still serve aboard the ship today. The USS Constitution is operated by the United States Navy, a partner to the National Parks of Boston. The Naval History and Heritage Command, Detachment Boston in Building 24 at the Charlestown Navy Yard is responsible for the maintenance, repair, and restoration of USS Constitution. Across the pier from Constitution in Building 22 is the USS Constitution Museum. The Museum serves as the memory and educational voice of USS Constitution and provides engaging and hands-on experiences for all visitors. Here you can explore how the ship was built, sailed, and preserved.
I have come to love the Nautical Ounce series, which is renowned for its small mintages and varied possibilities for each issue. The series started in 2017. These are my Rwanda Nautical Ounce.
