| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands occupies the central field, depicting a latte stone surmounted by a traditional Carolinian mwáár (flower garland) and a large star, flanked by a wreath and an eagle with spread wings. The design is rendered in high relief against a mirror-like proof field. A circular legend reading 'COMMONWEALTH OF THE NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS' runs along the upper periphery, with the denomination '5 DOLLARS' inscribed in the lower exergue. The border is decorated with a ring of small stars. |
