| Obverse description | Entirely text-type design within a plain field, enclosed by a continuous beaded border. The circular legend around the periphery reads QUEENSLAND STORES at the top and D.T. MULLIGAN at the bottom, while the name ROCKHAMPTON appears prominently in raised relief across the centre of the field. The layout is utilitarian, characteristic of Australian colonial tradesman's tokens of the 1860s. |
