When Mr. Adams was called to The Hague to participate in peace talks to end the War of 1812, she remained with her son in Russia. She and her son eventually joined Mr. Adams in The Hague, and the reverse design of this coin shows Louisa and her son during their long and arduous journey across Europe.
