Distinctive

A blonde pin-up woman in a vivid pink strapless top and an enormous magenta flower headdress dominates the centre, holding a small green parrot against her shoulder. Curled ribbon banners spelling out score values in alternating green, blue, yellow, magenta and orange run down both the left and right edges like a decorative border. A white lighthouse with red bands and a single leaning palm tree sit on the green hill directly behind her head, framed by a yellow sunset horizon. Two dark-skinned figures stand waist-deep in the blue water with both arms raised, flanking an orange-robed figure on the shore.

Full description

A brightly coloured printed backglass panel set in a pale wooden frame, with a strong vertical glass glare streak running down the centre and some chipped, rubbed paint along the edges. The background is a flat orange-red sky at the top, giving way to a yellow horizon band, a blue sea across the lower third, and a rounded green hill. Across the upper half, large white block letters with black outlines arc upwards to spell TRINIDAD, with the small black text CHICAGO COIN'S printed above the T. Down the entire left edge a stack of nine curled ribbon banners in alternating green, blue, yellow, magenta and orange carries six-digit values; a matching column of five-digit values runs down the right edge over a dark blue band. In the centre stands one blonde woman in a strapless bright pink top, wearing a huge magenta-and-purple flower headdress and a fringed shawl, with a small green parrot perched at her shoulder. Behind her sit a white-and-red striped lighthouse, one leaning palm tree, several round thatched grass huts, two dark-skinned figures with raised arms standing waist-deep in the water, and an orange-robed figure on the shore. A blue band with a green leafy vine and pink hibiscus flowers runs along the bottom.
