| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed and artistically rendered depiction of Hera, the Greek goddess, enthroned in a majestic seated pose. She holds her royal scepter in one hand, a traditional attribute of her sovereignty and divine authority. A peacock, her sacred symbol, is shown resting in her lap, rendered with fine detail. The denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in the field, along with the deity's name HERA.
