Comment
La Fayette was born in 1757Interesting fact
The coin features an image of the Statue of Liberty on one side and the profile of Marquis de Lafayette on the other. This is significant because Lafayette was a French aristocrat who fought alongside American colonists during the American Revolutionary War, and the Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States to commemorate the centennial of American independence. The coin's design serves as a symbol of the longstanding friendship between the two countries.
