The merchant's trading style, CROTHERS & CO., is prominently displayed in large raised capital letters across the central field. A circular legend reading TEA MERCHANTS & GENERAL STOREKEEPERS surrounds the central inscription, following the inner border. The whole is enclosed within a beaded inner border and a plain rim, with all lettering in incuse-relief Roman capitals typical of Victorian-era tradesman's tokens. |
