| Reverse description | The central field depicts a sailing vessel under full sail, rendered in profile and facing left, likely representing a merchant or lake schooner symbolic of Upper Canadian commerce. Above the ship the word TOKEN appears in the upper field, and HALFPENNY is inscribed below the vessel. A circular legend reads PROSPERITY TO CANADA around the upper arc and LA PRUDENCE ET LA CANDEUR around the lower arc, the two phrases separated by raised dots. The design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
