Power. Loyalty. Fear.
Chicago, 1920s. A city where weak laws and corruption let crime flourish. Prohibition closed bars but opened doors to illegal, profitable, and dangerous business. At heart of it all stood Al Capone, the most notorious gangster in the city’s history. This coin introduction to a new series “Empires of Crime” dedicated to 5 most notorious gangster who ruled the world through the power and fear. 
 
This coin is a tribute to a night when Capone gathered his closest men for dinner. The conversation was slow, the air thick with tension. He stood up, spoke of respect and loyalty, and then, quite suddenly, a baseball bat appeared in his hands. A few strikes silenced everything — laughter, words, breath.
 
That night came to define more than just a man - it came to define an era. Every empire built on fear eventually collapses — yet its lessons endure. Al Capone’s reign over Chicago radically changed the face of the city and the lives of those who lived within it. A city once buzzing with the rhythm of jazz became consumed by the rhythm of fear.
 
Dare to aquire a silent witness to those times — when strength created order, and fear became currency.
It was not an outburst of rage. It was a message: in power, there is no place for weakness.
