<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 2303538, member: 1886&quot;]Captain John Paul Jones from the US Mint&#039;s America&#039;s&nbsp; First Medals reproductions. They were struck during the Bicentennial era. The reverse shows the Bonhomme Richard up against the HMS Serapis. Presumbly so the plunder crew could board after the Serapis surrenderd. Or to negat the superior fire power of the Serapis by being too close for them to use anything but small arms. Both ships lost half their crew in the battle but Captain John Paul Jones won.</p><p><br /></p><p>US Mint.
