Reverse description Depiction of the Peek & Campbell Tea Stores building in Sydney, rendered in a straightforward architectural style typical of mid-nineteenth century colonial trade tokens. The establishment date 1835 is incorporated into the legend, affirming the founding of the tea trade business. The legends TEA STORES, ESTABLISHED 1835, and SYDNEY are distributed around the central device. Although the firm of Peek & Campbell had ceased operations by 1844, these tokens are attributed to Samuel Peek & Co. or S. Peek & Co. as the likely issuing authority.
