The 'D' mintmark is very weakly punched so it is barely visible on the reverse of the coin, though it is somewhat present.
Obverse Description
Christian Gobrecht's portrait of Liberty is surrounded by 13 stars with the date centered at the bottom.
Reverse Description
Heraldic eagle holding arrows and branch in its claws is centered in the design with the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * FIVE D. around the periphery. Mintmark (if any) is located under the eagle's claws.
