Benjamin Franklin was part of the very first committee that, in 1776, shortly after the Declaration of Independence, was tasked with designing the seal of the United States. A year before the anniversary of the United States' independence, Monnaie de Paris pays tribute to George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.

George Washington, the first president of the United States, is one of the country's founders. He played a key role as the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the War of Independence from 1775 to 1783 and helped lay the foundations of the young American republic. Washington had very close ties with France, especially through his relationship with the Marquis de Lafayette, to such an extent that he was granted honorary citizenship in 1792.

On the obverse of this coin is a bust of George Washington's statue, based on the sculpture carved by Jean-Antoine Houdon in 1792, which was displayed in the Virginia State Capitol. In the background is the Betsy Ross flag, where each of the thirteen stars represents a founding colony of the United States.

The reverse side is dedicated to the seal of the Continental Army, which was historically under the command of George Washington in 1775. The coat of arms features a snake hovering over a military trophy consisting of armor, crossed flags, and weapons. This composition refers to the military strength and resilience of the Continental Army during the War of Independence. It also emphasizes the inseparable bond between the American military and the founders of America, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington.
