| Reverse description | The reverse features a central medallion enclosed by a beaded inner circle, within which a passant lion is depicted in bold relief, facing left — an emblem commonly associated with British commercial heraldry. Surrounding the inner circle, a secondary legend reads ELIZABETH STREET · MELBOURNE in a circular arrangement, itself enclosed within a second beaded border. The outer legend, separated by raised dots, reads · HIDE & DE CARLE · GROCERS & WINE MERCHANTS, identifying the issuing firm and its trade. The overall layout is concentric and formal, consistent with the standard design conventions of Victorian-era Australian tradesmen's penny tokens. |
