| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, an emu stands to the right and a kangaroo sits upright to the right, the two animals facing one another across a grassy groundline in the central field. The legend AUSTRALIA arcs along the upper periphery in bold incuse capitals, while the date 1857 appears in the lower exergue. The composition is rendered in crisp, naturalistic detail characteristic of mid-nineteenth-century Australian tradesmen's tokens. |
