Beschrijving voorzijde	The obverse bears an all-text design within a beaded border. The issuer's name EDWARD REECE curves along the upper periphery in bold serif lettering. The central field carries a multi-line legend reading WHOLESALE / AND RETAIL / BUILDERS / AND FURNISHING / IRONMONGER / BIRMINGHAM / AND SHEFFIELD / WAREHOUSE / CHRISTCHURCH / CANTERBURY / N.Z., identifying the merchant's trade and locations. No pictorial device is present; the entire design consists of commercial advertising text rendered in block capital letters. The token was issued in multiple die varieties distinguished by the relative positions of specific letters in the obverse legend.

Beschrijving keerzijde	The reverse displays a pastoral scene set against a beaded border. At left, a large native New Zealand flax bush (Phormium tenax) is depicted growing from a basket or stump, rendered in fine engraved detail. At right, a seated male figure, likely a colonist or farmer, bends forward in a working posture, possibly engaged in harvesting or tending the land. The legend ADVANCE CANTERBURY curves around the upper periphery, while NEW ZEALAND arcs along the lower periphery, together expressing a patriotic sentiment toward the Canterbury province. The scene alludes to the agricultural and colonial development of New Zealand.
