| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, partially colourised high-relief composition depicting a skeletal gangster figure dressed in a pinstripe suit and broad-brimmed fedora, seated at a table. The skeleton holds a lit cigarette in one skeletal hand while gripping a colourised stack of currency notes in the other, with coloured accents of red, orange, and blue applied to the banknotes and cigarette ember. A colourised red rose is visible at the lapel, and a long-haired cat reclines across the foreground beside a whiskey bottle. A pistol rests on the table in the lower field, while a brick wall background bears the incuse inscription GANGSTER at the left. The entire composition is executed in an antiqued finish with selective colour application enhancing key details. |
