| Obverse description | Within a central beaded circle, a crowned lion passant guardant to the right, resting its forepaw upon a shield bearing the Union Jack, rendered in fine relief on a flat field. An inner beaded border separates the central device from the surrounding legend. The merchant's trade inscription runs in two arcs around the periphery, reading E. DE CARLE & Co at the top and AUCTIONEERS & LAND AGENTS at the bottom, with ROYAL ARCADE OFFICE filling the intermediate spaces. The outermost border is formed by a continuous ring of beads, typical of mid-nineteenth-century Australian trade token engraving. |
