Descrizione del dritto	Unidentified male bust facing left, with curly hair and a plain coat, rendered in a neoclassical style. The legend BRITISH COLONIES arcs around the periphery, divided on either side of the effigy, reading from lower left to upper right. No royal portrait is named, as this token was issued privately rather than by royal authority. The field is smooth and unadorned save for the central portrait.

Descrizione del rovescio	An allegorical female figure representing Commerce is depicted seated to the left upon what appears to be a bale of goods, extending an olive branch in her outstretched right hand. The circular legend TO FACILITATE TRADE arcs around the upper and right periphery, while the date 1825 appears in the exergue below the seated figure. The design conveys the commercial aspirations of the British colonial trade network. The field is plain, with the central device executed in a neoclassical engraving style.
