| Obverse description | A seated allegorical female figure of Commerce or Britannia occupies the central field, draped in classical robes, holding a balance scale in her raised right hand and resting her left arm upon a cornucopia. A sailing ship appears in the left background at the waterline, evoking maritime trade. The legend NEW ZEALAND arcs across the upper field in bold raised letters, while the date 1875 is displayed in the lower exergue. The design is contained within a beaded border. |
