OBVERSE

⁣⁢On the obverse, France is depicted, symbolized by Minerva, helmeted and armed with a spear, protecting from the British Leopard, thanks to her shield adorned with three fleurs-de-lis. Young America, in the guise of infant Hercules, sits in swaddling clothes on a shield (representing the new nation's military origins), crushing two serpents, which refer to the victories won over the armies of Generals Burgoyne at Saratoga and Cornwallis at Yorktown. The legend, taken from Book III of Horace's Odes, means "the courageous child was aided by the gods." The dates "17 / 19 OCT. 1777. /1781." can also be read. The signature "DUPRÉ F." is engraved under the leopard's tail, which is placed between its paws as a sign of cowardice. The year 2023 and "RF" are also present.
These coins feature High Relief with a patina.⁤⁣

REVERSE

The reverse depicts "Liberty," the profile bust facing left of a slender young woman, the American representation of Liberty. Her unbound hair flows in the wind, a pole topped with a Phrygian cap resting on her right shoulder. She inspires Galle to engrave "French Liberty" for the monetary trial in 1792. Beneath the bust, the signature "DUPRÉ" can be seen. In the exergue, the date in French "JULY 4, 1776." can be read. The mint marks and face value are also visible.
