| Reverse description | An intaglio vignette of Somerset Bridge — the world's smallest drawbridge — occupies the lower register, a motorboat passing beneath its span across calm waters framed by tropical vegetation, with a caption identifying the structure in the mid-register. A circular vignette in the upper left quadrant presents two dolphins leaping at sunset over open sea, while Koh-i-Noor butterfly ornaments accent the upper and lower left borders. The denomination numeral $5 appears at upper right against a fine guilloche ground, with Horseshoe Bay identified by inscription in the mid-register. |
