| Reverse description | The reverse bears a purely typographic design arranged in concentric registers within a beaded border. The central field displays the two-line inscription MANCHESTER HOUSE in bold raised lettering. Surrounding this central panel, a circular legend reads T. S. FORSAITH. WHOLESALE & RETAIL DRAPER. AUCKLAND, distributed around the periphery. The overall layout is characteristic of mid-Victorian trade token reverses produced by W.J. Taylor of London, with clean, well-struck lettering throughout. |
