| Reverse description | A standing full-length allegorical figure of Justice, blindfolded, occupies the central field; she holds a pair of balance scales in her raised right hand and an auctioneer's hammer in her left hand, alluding to the firm's role as public auctioneers and commission agents. The combination of traditional Justitia iconography with the auctioneer's hammer is a distinctive adaptation suited to the issuer's commercial trade. The peripheral legend PAYABLE AT NIBLOCK & HUNTER'S 1795 encircles the device, confirming the token's redemption obligation and date of issue. |
