| Beschrijving keerzijde | Heraldic eagle displayed at center, bearing on its breast a Union shield with vertical stripes. The eagle clutches three arrows in its left talon and an olive branch in its right talon, symbolizing readiness for war and desire for peace. A scroll inscribed IN GOD WE TRUST appears above the eagle's head, and a glory of thirteen stars with radiating lines surrounds the scroll and upper field. The peripheral legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs above, while the denomination FIVE DOLLARS is inscribed below the eagle, separated by a decorative stop. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "With Motto" designation marks a direct consequence of the Civil War. Congress mandated the addition of IN GOD WE TRUST to U.S. coinage in 1864, driven largely by religious pressure following the perceived godlessness of American currency — a complaint that gained traction as battlefield casualties mounted. The half eagle was updated accordingly by 1866.
This series ran across seven different mints over its lifespan, with Carson City issues from the early 1870s commanding particular attention for their low mintages during the Nevada silver boom years, when gold coinage took a back seat to the region's primary output.
