| Skipper is grasping the edge of a conch shell and possibly dreaming that he is at the helm of a vessel like the one on the English coin on the base. On the front of his hat is the Star of Bethlehem, which is also at the center of a sand dollar. There are tiny seagulls on his hat, as well. He is wearing a red hat with a green coat, brown pants and boots. This nautical fellow is grasping the edge of a conch shell and imagining it to be the helm of a vessel like the one depicted on the English coin on the base.
