| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, three-dimensional high-relief effigy of a human skull wearing a pirate's bandana, rendered with exceptional sculptural depth and antiqued finish. The empty eye sockets are deeply recessed and darkened, imparting a dramatic chiaroscuro effect, while the nasal cavity and exposed teeth are rendered with anatomical precision. The bandana is sculpted with naturalistic folds draped across the cranium and tied at the rear, with trailing ends extending to either side. The entire design conforms to the skull-shaped flan, with the minting technique showcasing pronounced contrast between the burnished high points and the blackened recesses. |
