| Aanvullende informatie |
Lafayette landed in South Carolina in June 1777 — not Boston — having crossed the Atlantic against explicit orders from the French crown, which had forbidden officers from joining the American cause to avoid provoking open war with Britain. He was nineteen years old and had paid for his own ship. The title's geographic claim is historical fiction, though the sentiment behind the issue is not.
The Haut Relief designation reflects a striking pressure and die depth that Monnaie de Paris reserves for its flagship bullion-adjacent collector pieces, typically requiring multiple die strikes per planchet.
