The coin of our pleasure,
Its obverse face
Minted in high relief --
And its reverse?
The same type incuse, stamped
By the punch of taboo.
Robert Wells

Interesting feature on one of the matched 50' towers of Crown Fountain. Apparently the artist gathered a collection of a 1000 faces from a cross section of Chicago residents that are used in rotation as a modern version of the classic gargoyle.
