On December 16th 1773, American colonists fought back against unfair British taxation with a peaceful but powerful protest that became one of the first acts in the American revolution.

The 250th Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party is celebrated on this range of limited edition coins with an exclusive new design by the American coin artist, Joel Iskowitz.

His design captures the scene as, guided by the lamplight of one of the leading Sons of Liberty, hundreds of men disguised as Native Americans boarded three ships and poured 342 chests of East India Company tea into the icy waters of Boston Harbour.
