| Obverse description | A draped allegorical female figure, representing Justice or Britannia, seated facing left upon a rocky plinth, holding a balance scale aloft in her right hand. A sailing ship is depicted in the lower left field, serving as a symbol of maritime commerce. The date 1857 appears in the exergue below the central device. The legend NEW ZEALAND arcs around the upper field, separated by a beaded border at the coin's rim. The overall composition is rendered in a classical engraving style typical of mid-19th century colonial trade tokens. |
