General La Fayette - Hero of the American Revolution (1757 - 1834). Obverse shows and 3/4 facing military portrait of the General. Like the silver 1/4 E, the reverse shows his ship, The "Hermione" sailing away. He used his ship to secretly join the American Revolution against the wishes of the King of France, Louis XVI. Only 500 of these proof coins were struck.
