| Obverse description | Purely typographic design within a plain flat field, enclosed by an inner beaded border and an outer milled rim. The merchant's name appears in two lines at centre: 'O. H.' above 'HEDBERG' in large serifed capital letters, flanked above and below by small lozenge-shaped ornaments. The surrounding circular legend reads 'OIL & COLOR STORES' at the top and 'ARGYLE ST HOBART TOWN' at the bottom, all in raised serifed capitals separated by raised dots serving as stops. |

| Reverse description | Entirely typographic reverse within a plain field bounded by an inner beaded border and an outer milled rim. The central field bears a four-line legend in raised serifed capitals reading 'IMPORTER / AND / MANUFACTURER / OF BOOTS / & SHOES', advertising the merchant's trade. The surrounding circular legend reads 'LIPMAN LEVY' at the top and 'WELLINGTON NEW ZEALAND' at the bottom, with raised dot stops separating the elements. The overall design is characteristic of mid-nineteenth-century Australasian tradesman's token practice, combining a peripheral proprietor's legend with a central trade description. |
