| 裏面の説明 | Dramatic high-relief battle scene depicting the American victory at the Battle of Cowpens on 17 January 1781, showing mounted and infantry soldiers in fierce close combat amid billowing cannon smoke, with a commanding officer on horseback at centre-right bearing a large unfurled flag. Fallen soldiers and horses occupy the lower foreground, conveying the chaos and intensity of the engagement. The arc legend 'VICTORIA LIBERTATIS VINDEX' ('Victory, champion of liberty') curves across the upper field, with the denomination '25 EURO' inscribed at upper right. A three-line Latin inscription in the lower exergue reads 'FVGATIS CAPTIS AVT CAESIS AD COWPENS HOSTIBVS / XVII . JAN . MDCCLXXXI', recording the routing, capture, or slaying of the enemy at Cowpens, followed by the engraver's attribution 'DUPRE INV ET F'. |

The Battle of Cowpens, fought January 17, 1781, in upcountry South Carolina, was one of the most tactically decisive engagements of the American Revolutionary War. Brigadier General Daniel Morgan's double-envelopment of Tarleton's British Legion — a maneuver later cited at West Point as a model of battlefield strategy — effectively destroyed a seasoned loyalist force and helped set the stage for Yorktown. That a French state mint is issuing this piece is historically fitting: French financial and military support was indispensable to the Continental cause, and Cowpens was fought partly with French-supplied arms.
