The legend CRITERION HOUSE arcs along the upper periphery, with STURT ST. inscribed above the building in the field. Below the building, BALLAARAT and the date 1862 appear in the lower field, while the circular legend DAVID JONES PROPRIETOR runs along the lower border. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
David Jones operated a drapery and general merchandise store in Ballarat during the gold rush period, when the colony's official copper coinage was chronically insufficient for small retail transactions. Colonial merchants across Victoria responded by commissioning trade tokens from private diesinkers — primarily in Birmingham — which circulated semi-officially until the Queensland and Victorian governments moved to suppress them in 1863 and 1864 respectively. This piece was struck just before that window closed.
