| Reverse description | A seated female allegorical figure, representing Commerce or Abundance, is depicted facing left in the central field. She holds a pair of scales in one hand and a cornucopia in the other, symbols of fair trade and plenty. A sailing ship appears in the background to her right, evoking New Zealand's maritime trade. The legend NEW ZEALAND arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 1875 positioned below. The design is enclosed by a toothed or beaded rim and follows the standard allegorical reverse type common to New Zealand colonial trade tokens of this period. |
