| Obverse description | High-relief scene depicting Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac and his company of colonists — including a flag bearer and a robed priest — coming ashore and meeting Native Americans on the banks of the Detroit River on 24 July 1701; a canoe is visible in the background at the water's edge. The sculptor's signature RENE P. CHAMBELLAN appears in the lower right field. A circular legend surrounding the scene records Cadillac's birth and death dates, his role as Founder of Detroit, and the 250th anniversary date 1951 in the lower exergue. |
