| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Alex Shagin, presents a richly composed commemorative scene celebrating the 500th Anniversary of the Americas and the opening of the Panama Canal. Dominating the right side is a detailed right-facing portrait bust of President Theodore Roosevelt, identified by his name inscribed in script below. To the left, a depiction of the Panama Canal locks is shown, with a steamship passing through, overlaid by an outline map of Central America and the Caribbean. The inscription 500TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAS arcs prominently across the upper field, with PANAMA CANAL and the date 1914 placed in the mid-field, and the denomination 5 DOLLARS rendered in bold lettering along the lower border. The engraver's initials ASH appear at lower left. |
