| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of a porcupine fish (Diodon hystrix) occupies the central field, shown in close-up three-quarter view with its characteristic spines prominently rendered and large expressive eyes visible. The fish is set against an underwater scene featuring radiating light rays from above, air bubbles rising to the upper left, and coral and sea vegetation along the lower register. The denomination $5 appears in a cartouche at the lower centre of the design. The composition conveys a naturalistic aquatic environment with fine engraving detail throughout. |
