Historic Purpose

It marked the 100th anniversary of Lafayette’s return to the U.S. (1824-1825), celebrating the enduring alliance between America and France forged during the nation’s founding.
Design: A Tribute to Loyalty
- Obverse: Features a detailed portrait of Marquis de Lafayette, capturing his dignified resolve. Inscriptions “Liberty,” “In God We Trust,” and the year “1900” frame his image, tying the coin to its historic moment.
