| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a single reddish-brown tone and composed entirely of elaborate lathe-work guilloche patterns arranged symmetrically around a central oval medallion. Four large ornamental rosettes occupy the corner quadrants, interlaced with fine engine-turned scrollwork throughout the field. A Greek key border frames the entire design, with the numeral 5 repeated in the lateral margins. |
