La Fayette - Hero of the American Revolution (1757 - 1834). Obverse is described as a military bust of the General 3/4 facing. The reverse features a depiction of his ship, the "Hermione," which he used to sneak off to the American Revolution against the orders of King Louis XVI of France. This coin looks like a proof, the certificate says its Brilliant Uncirculated, and KM describes it as proof-like. It's so completely proof and reflective that I can't get a decent photo of it. The mintage was 5000.
