| Reverse description | A seated allegorical figure of Justice occupies the centre of the field, blindfolded and holding a balance scale in her right hand, her gaze directed to the left. In the background behind the figure, a sailing vessel is depicted underway to the right, evoking the maritime commerce of colonial Victoria. The entire central composition is enclosed within a beaded circle, with a circumferential legend in raised Latin letters reading MELBOURNE VICTORIA 1855 around the periphery. The design is framed by an outer beaded border consistent with contemporary trade token practice. |
