On the front, one can perceive France, symbolized by Minerva helmeted and armed with a spear, protecting the British leopard, thanks to its shield decorated with three lilies, the young America under the features of Hercules as a child, sitting in his swaddling clothes on a shield (representing the military origin of the new nation), choking two snakes, which refer to the victories over the armies of generals Burgoyne at Saratoga and Cornwallis at Yorktown. The reverse side shows the left profile bust of a slender young woman, an American representation of Liberty. Her untied hair fluttering in the wind, a staff topped by the liberty bonnet rests on her right shoulder.
