Description:
Celebrating the history of United States Independence

• New coin technical prowess with High Relief on both sides

From 2020, Monnaie de Paris traces the history of the Independence of the United States through a collection of coins.
The designs of the coins are directly inspired by historical products published by the Monnaie de Paris: old medals taken from our archives.
This sub-theme is part of the Great Dates of Humanity theme which began in 2019 with the Fall of the Berlin Wall, the First Step on the Moon and Dday.

In 2020, Monnaie de Paris began the series “Independence in the History of the United States with the arrival of La Fayette in Boston.

This year, we decided to represent the arrival of Washington in Boston.

On the front, an undraped bust of George Washington facing right.
Under the bust is the name of the artist, "Duvivier Paris F".

The engraving is taken from an old medal struck by the Monnaie de Paris, which brings authenticity to the piece.

At the bottom of the piece, we can see inscribed "COMITIA AMERICANA", which in Latin means "The American Congress", the American Congress.
All around the coin, the inscription “GEORGIO WASHINGTON SVMPREMO DVCI EXERCITVVM ADSERTORI LIBERTATIS” is present, which can be translated as “The United States Congress to George Washington, General in Chief of the Armies, the Defender of Liberty”.

On the reverse, we can see Washington, on Dorchester Heights, leading his four officers on horseback towards the city of Boston. On the right of the room, there is a fort, cannons and cannonballs lying on the ground. Washington points to the British ships fleeing the city.

At the top of the coin, the inscription “HOSTIBUS PRIMO FUGATIS” can be translated as “For the first time the enemies are put to flight.”

At the bottom, we can see inscribed “BOSTONIUM RECUPERATUM / XVII MARTI / MDCCLXXVI” which can be translated as “Boston recaptured on March 17, 1776”.

The 2021 vintage as well as the engraving hallmarks are visible at the bottom of the reverse.

About Euro Collector Coins:
Euro 'Collection Coins' are coins issued by Individual Member States.
These coins can not have a face value of 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, €1, or €2.
They are legal tender within the issuing state.
The European Council concludes that other member states should also accept these coins (via their respective National Central Banks [transaction fee may apply]) thus effectively making them legal tender through the euro zone.
