A painted cartoon-style backglass in tall portrait format. Across the dark navy, star-flecked sky, huge slanted yellow letters with red outline spell '3 COINS', the numeral 3 oversized; a yellow cursive 'Williams' sits top left. Three blonde women in harlequin fancy dress sit on a pink-and-grey stone terrace wall. Left: a kneeling woman in a pale blue-grey gown with pink bow sash, a blue spade on her chest, and a pink-and-white conical fool's cap with ruff collar. Centre: a red-haired woman in profile wearing a gold crown, red bodice with a black club, red skirt, one hand raised, a fan of white playing cards spread behind her.

Two dark brown posts and a stone lantern rise between them; behind is green countryside with a pink castle turret, evergreens and a village. Below sits a white crenellated castle-shaped score window holding three mechanical number reels showing 1, 8, 2, and beneath that a red felt band with a fan of overlapping playing cards.

A painted pinball backglass on a yellow-and-white chequered (diagonal gingham) ground. Upper left carries a small blue cursive signature-style word above a two-line block title reading JOLLY / JOKERS in large red block capitals, each letter outlined in black and filled with alternating colour panels, white dots on the red letters like marquee bulbs. Centre top holds a large pale rectangular panel in a green and pink frame on a pole, with a red ribbon swirl above it and dark cut-out number windows. Three grinning jester figures in parti-coloured motley surround it: a tall thin jester at right in a blue, red and white jester suit with a two-pointed red-and-blue cap and curled shoes, holding a small white board; a swooping jester at left in a red-and-green cap and red/green/blue diamond-harlequin tights, leaning in with arms outstretched and gloved hands pointing; and a smaller head-and-shoulders jester in the lower centre wearing a red, green and blue floppy cap with long curling points tipped with balls. Red, green and blue ribbons stream from the pole. Lower centre sits a small blue box or cabinet with a white scrollwork frame around a red panel, next to a squat green-topped red cylinder. Bottom left a red oval plaque with white lettering and two small yellow chevrons. Along the bottom a white curved band contains ten upright numbered panels 1 to 10 in alternating yellow, green, pale blue, blue and red. Style is flat mid-century cartoon illustration with heavy black outlines.
