Western Skulls: Mexican Bandito

The 6th release is the Mexican Bandito. Mexican outlaws of the day were often called banditos, which derives from the Spanish term BANDIDO. The skull sports a large sombrero with a big smile on his face and thick mustache on his upper lip. The crossed weaponry featured on this design is that of a bandolier, which holds all of the ammunition he'll need to rob stagecoaches or hold up a bank. The Western Skulls collection consists of six rounds adapted from the familiar US American Silver Eagle, with a twist. Each is a unique western archetype, rendered as a highly detailed skull.

Mexican Bandito

The common reverse of the American Western Skulls silver rounds feature the design that will be used throughout the series. Referred to as the fried eagle, this image is a clever twist on the heraldic eagle found on the reverse of American Silver Eagle coins. It features the American bald eagle’s skeletal form behind the national shield as it clutches the arrows of war in one talon and the olive branch of peace in the other.
