In the year leading up to the anniversary of the United States' independence, Monnaie de Paris pays tribute to George Washington. George Washington, the first President of the United States, is one of the country's founding fathers. He played a crucial role as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the War of Independence between 1775 and 1783, and helped lay the foundations of the young American republic.
Washington had very close links with France, particularly through his relationship with the Marquis de Lafayette, to such an extent that he was granted honorary citizenship in 1792. The face of this coin features the bust of the statue of George Washington, based on a statue sculpted by Jean-Antoine Houdon in 1792 and exhibited in the Virginia State Capitol. In the background is the Betsy Ross flag, where each of the thirteen stars represents a founding colony of the United States.
The reverse is dedicated to the seal of the Continental Army, historically placed under the command of George Washington in 1775. The coat of arms represents a snake flying over a military trophy, made up of armour, crossed flags and weapons. This composition refers to the military strength and resilience of the Continental Army during the War of Independence.
