The coin's reverse depicts photos of Al Capone in a typical "wanted" poster with the real name, the birth date and the date of death. On top the issue date 2015. On the left the inscription "Chicago" and on top "Wanted". On the bottom of the coin the name of the series "History of Public Enemies" and an image depicting Al Capone shooting with his guns.
For the first time the coin features the rim of a 38-calibre bullet embedded in the reverse face, with each recycled rim being completely unique, often bearing different manufacturers stamps (like G.F.L., Federal, Blazer, Winchester etc.). Given Capone's history, especially the famous St. Valentines Day Massacre, it's an extremely appropriate thing to insert. On the coin's obverse the coat of arms of the Central African Republic and the face value.
The coin comes in a beautiful box that bear the famous quote: "I am like any other man. All I do is supply a demand. - Al Capone".
