The designs of the coins are directly inspired by historical products published by Monnaie de Paris: antique medals from our archives. This sub-theme is part of the Great Dates of Humanity theme, which began in 2019 with the Fall of the Berlin Wall, the First Step on the Moon and D-Day.\r\n\r\nIn 2020, Monnaie de Paris started the series “History of American Independence\u0026quot; with the arrival of La Fayette in Boston. Washington Before Boston followed in 2021, then the Great Seal of the USA in 2022 and the Libertas Americana medal in 2023 for its 240th anniversary. This year, it\u0026#039;s the Battle of Cowpens medal that will be honoured.\r\n\r\nThe Battle of Cowpens, in South Carolina, took place on January 17th, 1781. It was a crushing victory for the armed forces led by General Daniel Morgan against the British, led by Banastre Tarleton, resulting in the capture, disappearance, or death of around 75% of the British forces.\r\n\r\nThis first military success, which led to victory at Yorktown and to the Declaration of Independence, was the subject of three commemorative medals decided by Congress: a gold one awarded to General Morgan, and two silver ones awarded to William Washington, commander of the cavalry, and John Eagar Howard, commander of the infantry. They were decided during the time when Benjamin Franklin and D. Humphrey were negotiating in Paris the alliance with France that would lead to the Treaty of Paris signed in September 1783.\r\n\r\nThe obverse, illustrating Daniel Morgan\u0026#039;s Victory, depicts him full-length, about to be crowned by an Indian queen, an allegory of America; a female figure wearing a short breastplate and a feathered headdress. The acronym RF and the yeardate were added to the obverse.\r\n\r\nThe reverse shows the General-in-Chief leading the charge on horseback, followed by his troops on foot and overthrowing the fleeing English adversary. It is signed by the engraver Augustin Dupré, who was the general engraver of Monnaie de Paris at the time. The face value and hallmarks were added to the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e31.1 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51822152024396,"sku":"475297","price":124.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/files\/475297A.png?v=1737507630","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/de\/products\/475297-france-20-euro-independance-des-etats-unis-bataille-de-cowpens-1-oz-2024","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
