| Aversbeschreibung | A three-quarter perspective view of the Montpellier Retreat Inn building occupies the central field, depicted as a substantial timber structure with a pitched roof, chimney, flagpole, and an entrance pathway leading to the foreground. The building is rendered in fine relief with considerable architectural detail. The curved legend MONTPELLIER RETREAT INN arcs around the upper portion of the coin, while the proprietor's name W.D. WOOD appears in the lower legend. The design is framed by a continuous beaded border. |

W.D. Wood operated the Montpellier Retreat Inn during a period when Van Diemen's Land was transitioning into Tasmania and the colonial copper shortage was acute enough that private traders routinely issued their own token currency to make change. These merchant tokens circulated on trust rather than legal authority, and their acceptance depended entirely on the issuer's local reputation. Wood's establishment was substantial enough to sustain that trust.
The Andrews, Renniks, and Gray references all catalogue this piece, reflecting the depth of collector interest in Australian colonial tokens as a distinct field — one where provenance to a specific named business adds measurable premium over anonymous issues.
