| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicts the Arms of Australia — a heraldic shield supported by a kangaroo on the dexter side and an emu on the sinister side, with a ribbon scroll below bearing the legend ADVANCE AUSTRALIA. Above the shield, the motto PEACE & PLENTY arcs along the upper border in raised Latin capitals. The date 1863 appears in the lower exergue beneath the supporters. A toothed border encircles the entire design. The heraldic composition is characteristic of the dies widely employed on mid-nineteenth century Australasian trade tokens. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samuel Beaven operated a general store in Invercargill during the early 1860s, issuing this token at a moment when Southland's remote geography made British coin chronically scarce. The provincial economy was expanding rapidly on the back of pastoral runs, but official coinage simply did not reach the settlement in sufficient quantities. Beaven's token — along with a handful of others circulating in the region — filled that gap in daily commerce.
Relatively few Southland tradesmen's tokens were struck compared to those issued in Otago or Canterbury, making provincial survivors like this one harder to source than their catalog numbers might suggest.
