| Reverse description | Central scene depicting the Wright Brothers' first powered flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903: the Flyer biplane is shown airborne in the upper field, rendered in fine detail with its characteristic double-wing strut construction, while two standing figures — identified as Orville and Wilbur Wright — are portrayed in the lower right, one with arm raised in gesture. The inscription MANNED FLIGHT appears to the left in italic script, flanked by the date 1903 to the right. The legend 500TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAS arches across the top, and the denomination 5 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower periphery. The engraver's signature ASH appears in the lower right field. |
