The obverse features the unmistakable Ghost Rider flaming skull emblem beneath the SPECTRE banner with AC130 GUNSHIP text, a design widely associated with the AC-130 gunship community. The reverse showcases a detailed AC-130 aircraft relief design along with the inscriptions “Ghost Riders – Only the Dead Have Seen the End of War” and Fabulous Four Engine Fighter.
