| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features a standing draped female figure, facing slightly left, holding a balance scale aloft in her raised left hand, representative of Commerce or Justice. A ship under sail appears in the left background field, and what appears to be a bale or anchor grouping is visible at lower left, evoking trade and maritime commerce. The figure stands upon a decorative base element at the lower field. The legend NEW ZEALAND arcs across the upper periphery, and the date appears in the lower exergue, all within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
H. Ashton operated a general store in Auckland during the early 1860s, a period when the colonial government had failed to supply sufficient small-denomination coinage for everyday retail transactions. Merchants across New Zealand turned to privately struck tradesman's tokens as a practical solution, issuing copper pieces that functioned as de facto currency in their local communities. The Andrews and Renniks reference numbers covering this type span four varieties, suggesting Ashton commissioned multiple die combinations — not unusual for a trader who needed steady token supply across a two-year window.
