| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a seated female allegorical figure, representing Britannia or Justice, shown in three-quarter view facing left, draped in classical robes and seated upon a rocky plinth. She holds a pair of scales in her raised left hand and supports a shield at her side. A beaded border encircles the design. The curved legend NEW ZEALAND arcs across the upper field, while the date 1858 appears in the lower exergue. The engraving is accomplished in the style of W. J. Taylor's London workshop, consistent with other New Zealand provincial trade tokens of the period. |
