| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed engraving of the Union ironclad warship USS Monitor underway in choppy seas, depicted in three-quarter profile view with its distinctive cylindrical revolving gun turret prominently rendered amidships and a single smokestack emitting billowing clouds of smoke into the darkened field above. The opposing Confederate vessel CSS Virginia (Merrimack) is partially visible to the left amid cannon smoke, evoking the famous Battle of Hampton Roads of 1862. The legend USS MONITOR arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS appears to the right in the field. |
