| Reverse description | The central device reinterprets the Buffalo Nickel reverse, replacing the bison with a mountainous landscape derived from the bison's hump, set behind a broad lake or river in the lower field. A lone fisherman, facing left, stands at the water's edge casting a fishing line. The legend UNITED·STATES·OF·AMERICA arcs along the upper rim, E PLURIBUS UNUM appears in the right field, and FIVE CENTS is inscribed in the lower exergue. |
