This Wild West Dead and Buried coin is one of the most vivid and characterful pieces in the Western skull coin genre. The obverse features a grinning cowboy skull wearing a full brim hat, two crossed revolvers below it, set against a desert scene with a saguaro cactus, a wooden grave cross, and distant mountain ranges — all rendered in rich colour enamel with gold and silver relief. Wild West arcs boldly across the top in gold lettering, and Dead and Buried sweeps across the base, completing one of the most iconic phrases in frontier mythology. The reverse tells the next chapter: a skeleton gunslinger in full cowboy attire strides through a ghost town at sunset, pistol drawn at his side, orange sky blazing above red rock canyon walls, the abandoned buildings of a frontier town flanking the dusty street behind him.
This piece is a Gothic Western skull collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
The Wild West — the American frontier of the 1860s to 1890s — is one of the most mythologised periods in history. Gunfighters, outlaws, ghost towns, and the code of the frontier have inspired countless stories, films, and works of art. This coin takes that mythology and pushes it into dark art territory — the cowboy skull on the obverse is not a warning but a statement, and the skeleton gunslinger on the reverse is not a ghost but a presence. Dead and Buried, but still walking. The combination of colour enamel, gold lettering, and deep relief makes this one of the most visually striking Western coins available.
