| Reverse description | The reverse of this three-dimensional sculptural coin is modelled in the full round form of a .45 ACP pistol cartridge, faithfully reproducing the rounded ogival projectile at the apex transitioning into the straight cylindrical case body, with a pronounced extractor groove and rimmed base. The entire surface is rendered in antique-finished fine silver, capturing the naturalistic texture and proportions of the original military cartridge with exceptional sculptural detail and no additional inscriptions or legends. |
