| Obverse description | The obverse retains the standard Morgan Dollar design featuring a left-facing draped bust of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, with stars surrounding the periphery and the date below. In this hobo-nickel fantasy adaptation, the original obverse has been re-engraved to depict a skeletal figure in place of Liberty's portrait. The surrounding legend and field follow the layout of the standard Morgan Dollar type. The design is executed in the engraving tradition of the classic hobo coin, with bold relief carving over the original die work. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a skeletal cowboy figure standing in the field, clutching a smoking revolver in each hand, presented in a bold folk-art engraving style characteristic of the hobo coin tradition. The word OUTLAW appears beneath the central figure as a caption. The peripheral legend reads E * PLURIBUS * UNUM, and the date 1878 is displayed within a decorative arrangement of asterisks along the lower rim, referencing the inaugural year of the Morgan Dollar series. The overall composition replaces the standard Morgan eagle reverse with this entirely custom fantasy design. |
