| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a classically draped standing female figure, presented in the allegorical tradition of Justice or Commerce, facing left and extending her right arm to hold a balance scale with two suspended pans. Her left hand gathers the folds of her flowing robe, and at her feet lies a heap of merchandise or produce, alluding to trade. In the left middle ground, a sailing vessel is depicted on open water, evoking maritime commerce associated with the port of Sydney. The scene is framed by a beaded border with no legend. |
