| Reverse description | A stylised primitive engraving-style depiction of a bird, rendered in the manner of historical convict token artwork, perched on a branch and facing left, with a link chain attached around its neck terminating in a ball and shackle at lower left — a symbolic reference to convict transportation and imprisonment. The textured, antiqued field enhances the aged, folk-art character of the design, evoking the crude scrimshaw and token work produced by convicts in early colonial Australia. No legend or inscription appears on the reverse. |
