| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely typographic in design, with the merchant's trading details arranged in three lines across the central field: GEO. PETTY CO., 157, and ELIZABETH ST, all in bold serif capital lettering. The circular legend SMITHFIELD Co arcs along the upper periphery and MELBOURNE along the lower, separated by the dentilated border that frames the entire design. The field displays no pictorial elements, presenting a plain background that emphasises the commercial advertising function of this tradesman's token. |
