| Obverse description | Central device features a clown face emerging from a jagged opening in the field, designed as an optical illusion — right-side up the clown appears smiling, inverted it appears frowning. A winged banner at the top bears the denomination $50,000 in relief, and scattered ball or confetti devices surround the central figure. The legend THE CITY THAT CARE FORGOT arcs along the lower periphery. |
