| Reverse description | Forward-facing bust of Thomas Alva Edison with arms folded across his chest, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. Over his left shoulder, incandescent light bulbs are depicted as symbols of his most celebrated invention, while a group of figures appears over his right shoulder, evoking the broader social impact of his work. The surrounding legend commemorates the 500th Anniversary of the Americas and references the invention of the electric light in 1879, with the denomination 5 DOLLARS and the engraver's initials A·SH· also present in the field. |
