| Obverse description | The central field bears the denomination in three horizontal registers: HALF above, E.F. DEASE in the centre, and PENNY below, each separated by a horizontal rule. A circular legend reading WHOLESALE & RETAIL DRAPERY WAREHOUSE surrounds the upper portion, with BRISBANE ST. completing the inscription along the lower periphery. The lettering is bold and incuse-style against a plain field, with a milled border encircling the entire design. The overall composition is typographical in character, consistent with mid-nineteenth-century New Zealand trade token practice. |

| Reverse description | The central field displays the initials and surname H.J. HALL in large bold lettering, flanked above and below by pairs of decorative horizontal rules. The surrounding circular legend reads FAMILY GROCER to the upper left and WINE & SPIRIT MERCHANT along the lower portion, separated by raised dot stops at each junction. The plain field and milled border are consistent with the obverse, and the overall typographical design reflects standard trade token production of the colonial era. |
