| Aversbeschreibung | The obverse features an all-text design within a beaded border. The merchant's name 'J. TAYLOR' is prominently struck in large raised letters across the centre of the field, with 'RED HOUSE' below in bold lettering. Beneath that, in smaller lettering arranged in three lines, reads 'CORNER OF DANNA & RAGLAN STREETS', and 'BALLARAT' appears at the bottom. The circular legend around the periphery reads 'BREAD & BISCUIT BAKER FAMILY GROCER', all rendered in Latin script. The design is entirely typographic, characteristic of Australian colonial tradesmen's tokens of the period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
J. Taylor operated as a storekeeper in Ballarat during the peak years of the Victorian goldfields economy, issuing this token at a moment when the colonial authorities had utterly failed to supply sufficient small-denomination coinage for everyday commerce. The Royal Mint's output simply could not keep pace with a population that had exploded from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands in under a decade.
Private tradesmen's tokens like this one filled the gap illegally but pragmatically, and the colonial government largely tolerated them until the Token Coinage Act of 1863 effectively ended the practice. This piece was struck with only a year or so of useful commercial life ahead of it.
