Description

Own a tangible bond of U.S.-French friendship: the 1900 Lafayette Silver Dollar Commem Dollar— a rare tribute to a hero who shaped America’s independence.

Historic Purpose

Struck in 1900 to honor Marquis de Lafayette, the French nobleman who fought alongside George Washington in the American Revolution. 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.

Reverse: Showcases a symbolic design—an American eagle clutching an olive branch (peace) and arrows (defense), with the French fleur-de-lis and U.S. stars woven into the details. The phrase “Lafayette Silver Dollar” and “One Dollar” anchor its purpose, blending U.S. and French heritage.
