| Obverse description | Allegorical figure of Commerce seated to the left, holding a laurel sprig in her raised right hand and a winged caduceus in her left hand, emblematic of trade and prosperity. A sailing vessel is depicted in the distant background to the right, referencing Nova Scotia's maritime commerce. The peripheral legend encircles the design, with the date appearing in the exergue below the figure. The composition reflects the neoclassical allegorical style typical of early nineteenth-century colonial token coinage, engraved by Thomas Halliday. |
