| Reverse description | The central field displays a large numeral 5 denoting the denomination, enclosed within an open wreath of laurel and olive branches tied at the base with a bow ribbon, with decorative berries interspersed throughout the sprays. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is inscribed along the periphery, reading from lower left to lower right in an arc, separated from the wreath by a continuous beaded border. The overall design is bold and uncluttered, consistent with Longacre's pattern reverse compositions of the mid-1860s. |
