| Obverse description | The obverse consists entirely of incuse lettering arranged in multiple lines across the field, without a central device. The legend reads G.L. BEATH & CO. CLOTHIERS DIRECT IMPORTERS DRAPERS CHRISTCHURCH, distributed across the face in a typographic layout. The text is presented in capital Latin letters, with the merchant's name and business description occupying the upper and lower portions of the flan respectively. The overall design is characteristic of a die trial, with no decorative border or ornamentation framing the inscriptions. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely blank, presenting a plain, unadorned copper flan with no devices, legends, or decorative elements. This is consistent with the piece's status as a die trial, where only the obverse die was impressed against an unworked planchet. The surface shows the natural texture of the copper flan with no deliberate engraving or design. |
