Hussars in the heat of battle. The legendary warriors fought for competing European nations during the 18th and 19th centuries. They are particularly remembered for their role during the Napoleonic Wars of 1803 to 1815. Hussars were famous for their richly embellished uniforms which are portrayed on the coin and the panoramic full colour artwork available.

Comment

The hussar is a soldier belonging to the light cavalry. Hussars were primarily employed for reconnaissance and raids to supply the army on the march. In battle, their function was also to harass the enemy, seize artillery batteries or chase down routed troops.

Over time, they became an elite troop with a colorful uniform. Their weapons were replaced by light rifles and pistols, while the saber was retained as a distinctive feature of the dismounted hussar. It hangs low behind the legs, and the straps that hold it in place also support the sabretache (a flat pouch decorated with the regimental emblem).

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Le hussard est un militaire appartenant à la cavalerie légère. Les hussards furent avant tout employés pour la reconnaissance et les raids pour approvisionner l'armée en marche. Au combat, leur fonction était également de harceler l'ennemi, de s'emparer des batteries d'artillerie ou de pourchasser les troupes en débâcle.

Avec le temps, ils devinrent une troupe d'élite à l'uniforme coloré. Leur armement laissa de côté la lance pour la carabine légère et les pistolets ; le sabre fut conservé et acquit même le statut d'élément caractéristique du hussard descendu de cheval. Il pend en effet très bas derrière les jambes, et les courroies qui le retiennent supportent aussi la sabretache (pochette plate ornée de l'emblème du régiment). (Source : www.wikipedia.org)
