So, it is now your turn to join the legend by getting you this coin tribute to a genie of crime. This coin is the first in a series of a total of 4 recounting the worst or ingenious criminal roaming our streets

 

Murder, extortion, smuggling, prostitution, corruption and tax evasion – the life of a gangster is full. No one embodies more than the classic gangster than the famous Alphonse Gabriel Capone, better known as Al. Born in New York in 1899, Capone joined the Five Points gang at an early age, working as a bouncer in brothels, But it wasn’t long before he left for Chicago with a promotion. He became the bodyguard of Johnny Torrio, head of a smuggling union, and was in the perfect position to take over when Torrio retired after an assassination attempt.

 

It’s surprising that the world of gangsters and true crime hasn’t been more widely used in the modern numismatic world. There was an Al Capone wanted poster coin issued in early 2015 as the start of a ‘Public Enemies’ series that didn’t proceed any further, but in general, very little presence – strange given how popular the genre is in other fields, and how influential Capone has been in popular culture.

 

On the reverse, You can watch the proud Al Capone in his underground liquor warehouse accompanied by an armed guard on a beautiful antique finish.

 

On the Observe, You can observe the barrel of a 9mm pistol with the revolver bullet primer, the country of issue Niue Island and the year 2021
