| Reverse description | Central design featuring a stylized ancient lion sculpture depicted in profile facing right, shown in a crouching or prowling stance with its tail curling upward, clutching an object in its forepaws, rendered within a recessed rectangular frame. The denomination 'TWENTY' appears along the left border and 'FIVE' at the top, with 'DOLLARS' along the right border, all in raised Latin lettering. Below the central frame, a decorative heraldic-style vignette displays two confronted sea-horses or mythological creatures flanking a central motif. The composition evokes ancient Near Eastern or pre-Columbian sculptural traditions, executed in high-relief proof finish against polished fields. |
