| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved scene of a Viking longship under full sail, navigating turbulent open seas with a crew of warriors and oarsmen visible amidships. Rocky coastal cliffs are depicted in the left background, evoking the rugged shores of Newfoundland and the Norse settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows. The dynamic composition captures rolling waves surrounding the vessel's distinctive curved prow, rendered with exceptional detail characteristic of proof striking. The denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in bold relief along the lower margin of the field, with the engraver's initials DC visible in the lower right field. |
