| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
