| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed commemorative scene set during the World War II Battle of Guadalcanal. In the foreground, a helmeted American Marine lies prone in tropical undergrowth, aiming his rifle toward the enemy. Behind him, framed by tall palm trees, a naval warship is depicted underway on the water, with a formation of aircraft visible in the cloud-filled sky above. The legend TO • THE • HEROES • OF • GUADALCANAL arcs along the upper border. The denomination FIVE DOLLARS is inscribed on a horizontal tablet in the lower central field, with the commemorative dates 1943 • 1993 displayed along the bottom rim, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the campaign. The engraver's initials DKS appear in the lower left of the scene. |
