| Reversbeschreibung | High-relief scene depicting the American General-in-Chief on horseback leading a cavalry charge, followed by infantry troops, as the British adversary is shown in full retreat and rout. The composition is closely based on Augustin Dupré's original reverse design for the Comitia Americana Cowpens medal, signed DUPRE INV ET F in the lower field. The exergue bears the inscription FVGATIS CAPTIS AVT CAESIS AD COWPENS HOSTIBVS XVII · JAN · MDCCLXXXI, recording the date and outcome of the Battle of Cowpens on 17 January 1781. The upper legend reads VICTORIA LIBERTATIS VINDEX, and the denomination 250 EURO has been added to the design in accordance with modern French coinage requirements. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Battle of Cowpens, fought on January 17, 1781, lasted roughly one hour and effectively destroyed Tarleton's Legion — one of the most feared British mobile forces in the Southern Campaign. Brigadier General Daniel Morgan's deliberate use of militia as a sacrificial first line, designed to absorb one British volley before retreating, was a tactical deception that transformed an apparent weakness into a double envelopment. Cornwallis lost nearly 900 men killed, wounded, or captured.
French issuance reflects the Franco-American alliance that made the broader Southern Campaign viable, with Rochambeau's forces and French naval pressure at the time constraining British strategic options up the coast.
