| Reverse description | Central composition depicting two Red Wolves in a naturalistic landscape evocative of the Great Smoky Mountains: a larger wolf sits upright in the foreground with head raised in a howl, while a smaller wolf crouches to its right. A radiant sun rises over a rolling mountain range in the mid-ground, and a decorative pine cone motif appears at the upper centre below the inner legend. The species identification Red Wolf is inscribed in script lettering at lower right of the central design. The arc legend GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS runs along the upper rim, with National Park in cursive script below it, and the denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in the lower exergue. |
