Reverse description	A Mercury space capsule is depicted in high relief in the upper portion of the field, shown in three-quarter view against a starfield with several individual stars visible. Beneath the capsule, a detailed flat map projection of the Earth's continents is rendered across the lower field, with orbital trajectory lines arcing across the globe to suggest the path of the spacecraft. A star device appears to the lower left. The denomination 50 FIFTY DOLLARS is inscribed to the right of center. The curved legend FIRST AMERICAN IN EARTH ORBIT - 1962 arcs along the upper periphery.
