| Obverse lettering | JAMAICA FIVE DOLLARS 1979 OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE FM |
| Reverse description | The reverse bears a finely detailed right-facing portrait bust of Norman W. Manley, Jamaican national hero and Premier from 1959 to 1962, rendered in high relief with naturalistic modeling of his facial features and hair. The legend 'NORMAN W. MANLEY - PREMIER' curves along the upper periphery, while the dates '1959-1962' appear in the lower right field. The portrait occupies the majority of the coin's field, with ample space left in the lower left quadrant. The overall design is clean and medallic in character, executed in the style typical of Franklin Mint commemorative issues. |
