| Obverse description | The obverse is arranged with numeral 5 counters at all four corners within circular guilloche frames. At center left, a portrait vignette of General Francis Marion (the 'Swamp Fox') is paired with a large central intaglio vignette of the celebrated breakfast scene, in which General Marion invites a British officer to share a meal of sweet potatoes roasting over an open fire — a celebrated episode of the Revolutionary War rendered in fine line engraving. A second portrait of General Marion appears at right, and a large red letterpress overprint reading FIVE occupies the lower center of the note. |
