| Reverse description | The reverse of this fantasy hobo-style coin features an elaborately engraved infernal scene in deep relief, centered on a muscular horned devil figure seated on a throne-like structure, flanked on either side by kneeling demoness figures with animal attributes. Serpentine and tentacular forms writhe behind the central devil, whose expression is menacing and whose body is rendered with considerable anatomical detail. Skulls and additional demonic creatures populate the lower field and periphery, contributing to the overall dark fantastical composition. The legend 'E * PLURIBUS * UNUM' arcs along the upper border, and the date '1899' appears in the lower exergue. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border. |
