$5 Indian Head Half Eagle
The $5 Indian Head Half Eagle bears the same design as it's "little sister", the Indian Head Quarter Eagle. These coins are unique among U.S. coinage due to their incuse designs and lettering. Whereas with other coins the design is raised above the surface level of the coin, the design in an incuse coin such as this is engraved below the surface.
