The human player has some cards in his hands and shows a Royal Flush, which is the hand of the highest possible value. One of the cards features the inscription “2022” – the year of issue. Sure to win the game, the man decides to bet his soul, which he is holding in his left hand. However, the same moment when the man is sure to win and bets his soul, the ace in his hands starts changing and becomes a skull. The story continues on the obverse of the coin, showing the Grim reaper taking the man’s soul.
