Obv: Federal-style shield overlaid with a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY, crossed liberty pole and caduceus behind shield. The Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM arcs above the shield, the date 1896 is below, and 13 stars are arranged at the border seven left, six right. Rev: The denomination 5 / CENTS within single-stem wreath with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border.
