| Reverse description | A finely detailed Royal Tern (Thalasseus maximus) rendered in high relief at centre, depicted in dynamic flight with wings spread wide and its characteristic forked tail visible, facing left with beak pointing toward the upper left of the field. The bird's plumage is rendered with precise engraving, showcasing individual feather detail across the wings and body. The denomination legend FIVE DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower arc of the coin in large, bold lettering. The deeply mirrored proof field provides a striking contrast to the sculpted bird motif, the work of engraver Gilroy Roberts. |
