| Reverse description | The central field displays a vivid color-printed scene of the three-masted sailing ship Whydah Gally under full sail on open seas, rendered in warm amber, teal, and golden hues evoking an aged maritime illustration. The legend WHYDAH GALLY arcs across the upper portion of the colored inset in relief lettering. The lower foreground is executed in high-relief antiqued silver, depicting scattered pirate treasure including gold coins, a flintlock pistol, a comb, a navigational compass rose, and a human skull, referencing the famous pirate wreck's recovered artifacts. The border surrounding the colored scene is elaborately decorated with scrolling acanthus-leaf baroque ornament in high relief. The overall composition masterfully combines colorized printing with sculptural three-dimensional elements to evoke the legend of the pirate vessel. |
