Thanks for the pics. Definitely a missed opportunity. It would have looked so much better with both the title and the coin embossed.

I've been holding off on this in the hope that it would appear on Amazon's German or Austrian sites but to no avail. Did you order it from D&T (Austria)? If so, what's their packaging like?
 
NSM have seriously dropped the ball with this release compared with their earlier Mediabook release of the same title.

It appears that the Steelbook edition only contains a single Blu-ray of the uncensored theatrical cut plus a bonus DVD of extras. The Mediabook edition also contains a second Blu-ray of the alternate pre-release cut which removes the pornographic material subsequently added by Bob Guccione, adds back the scenes excised to make room for that material and re-instates the film's original order. Still no cinematic masterpiece but a version which more accurately depicts the intentions of its director, Tinto Brass and, therefore, preferable to what was actually released in the cinema.

It baffles me that NSM have chosen not to include this disc in the Steelbook edition.
