Trident bullion coin

This coin is quite different from the others to be
produced by Scottsdale, eschewing nature for national symbolism. As the name suggests, the most prominent element on the reverse face is a pretty cool looking trident head. The denomination is inscribed below, with a pair of smaller inscriptions to the left and right detailing the composition of the coin. As is increasingly becoming the case with quite a few mints these days, the background carries a detailed pattern rather than a simple flat finish, surrounded by a beaded border. This has the double benefit of looking good and making the coin harder to counterfeit successfully.
