Reverse description	The reverse bears a bold Latin legend arranged in a circular pattern around the field, with GRIQUA arcing across the upper periphery and TOWN along the lower periphery, both in large serifed capital letters. The denomination, expressed as the fraction 1/2, is prominently struck in the center of the plain field. The lettering is well-spaced and deeply incused, reflecting a straightforward typographic design characteristic of emergency token coinage of the period. No additional devices, symbols, or decorative elements appear in the field. A uniform reeded border encircles the entire reverse.
