Starting from 2020 Monnaie de Paris retraces the history of American Independence through a new collection. The year 2020 marks the 240th anniversary of the arrival of the Marquis de La Fayette in Boston aboard the frigate Hermione.
La Fayette came to help the American settlers, led by George Washington, taking 6,000 men with him. This event was the driving force behind the victories that led to the Independence of the United States.
The design of these coins is similar to that of an old medal. The obverse represents the portrait of the Marquis de La Fayette in profile, in the same way as the coins of the Monarchy or the Empire were presented. The reverse represents in the center a coat of arms composed by the visual of the Hermione, the frigate used by the Marquis de La Fayette to travel from France to Boston. On the upper part of the coat of arms are fleurs-de-lys echoing the monarchy. The coat of arms is surrounded by French and American flags echoing the signature of the United States Independence.
You get what you see in the pictures: the coin in the PCGS slab with the certificate, and the original box.
