| Reverse description | A standing male figure, depicted as an elderly barefoot beggar in tattered robes and leaning on a walking staff, faces left to receive alms from an outstretched hand entering the design from the left. The beggar cradles a bundle in his arm and appears in a posture of humble supplication, rendered in detailed relief against a plain field. The encircling legend, derived from Matthew 25:35, reads I WAS HUNGRY AND YE GAVE ME MEAT, referencing the charitable motivation behind the token's issuance. A beaded border frames the design. |
