| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination 5 CENTS is displayed in two lines at the centre of the field, with the date below, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Flanking this central cartouche is a symmetrical ornamental wreath-like design composed of stylised foliate scrollwork with small circular bosses at the junctions, lending a decorative Victorian character to the composition. A beaded border runs along the outer edge of the coin, separated from the toothed rim by a recessed channel. The overall design is clean and well-struck, consistent with Royal Mint production standards of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Newfoundland's decision to issue its own silver coinage rather than rely on the Province of Canada's decimal system reflected a persistent commercial orientation toward Britain and the West Indies trade rather than the continental interior. These five-cent pieces were struck at the Royal Mint in London through most of the series, with later dates moving to the Heaton Mint in Birmingham — a shift that collectors track carefully, as Heaton-struck examples carry an "H" mintmark.
The 1873 and 1880 dates are notably scarce within the run, the latter complicated by a transitional period in Newfoundland's banking arrangements.
