| Reverse description | The reverse is struck in high relief as a three-dimensional sculpted pirate skull, shaped to form the overall contour of the coin itself. The cranium is wrapped in a finely detailed bandana tied at the side, with deeply modeled folds and fabric texture rendered with exceptional sculptural precision. The hollow eye sockets, nasal cavity, and exposed teeth of the skull are naturalistically portrayed, giving the piece a striking memento mori aesthetic. No inscriptions appear on this face; the entire surface is devoted to the sculptural composition, finished in a uniform silk gold surface that accentuates the relief. |
