| Obverse description | Central field bears the multi-line legend IRONMONGER & MERCHANT arranged in three horizontal lines across the coin's face, referencing the issuer's trade. The circular border legend S. BEAVEN runs along the upper arc and INVERCARGILL N.Z. along the lower arc, all in raised Latin capitals. The design is plain and typographic, with no figural elements, relying entirely on lettering to identify the issuing merchant. A toothed or beaded border frames the entire design, consistent with contemporary Australasian trade token practice. |
