| Obverse description | France, symbolized by Minerva, helmeted and armed with a spear, protecting the young America from the British leopard, thanks to her shield adorned with three lilies, in the guise of the infant Hercules, seated in his swaddling clothes on a shield (representing the military origins of the new nation), smothering two snakes, referring to the victories won over the armies of generals Burgoyne at Saratoga and Cornwallis at Yorktown.
