Reverse description	The reverse depicts the Soviet Sputnik 1 satellite in the upper right field, rendered in fine detail with its spherical body and four extended antennae radiating outward. Below, a stylized partial world map shows the orbital trajectories of the satellite as curved dotted arcs encircling the globe. The denomination '50 FIFTY DOLLARS' appears to the right in the field. The curved legend 'FIRST MAN-MADE SATELLITE' arcs along the upper rim, with the commemorative date '1957' continuing along the lower right rim, marking the year of Sputnik's historic launch.
