| 背面描述 | The reverse is entirely text-based, bearing no figurative devices. The issuer's name 'JOSEPH MOIR' arches prominently across the upper periphery, while 'HOBART TOWN' curves along the lower arc, with both legends separated from the central field by a continuous beaded border. The central area contains five lines of raised capital lettering reading 'WHOLESALE / AND / RETAIL / IRONMONGERY / ESTABLISHMENT', with the date '1850' inscribed below, denoting the year of establishment of the business. The bold, block-serif lettering is typical of Australian colonial copper tradesmen's tokens of the period. |

Joseph Moir operated a hardware and ironmongery business in Hobart, and his 1862 penny token was struck at a moment when colonial Tasmania faced a chronic shortage of official small change — the same shortage that drove dozens of Australian merchants to commission private copper tokens throughout the 1850s and 1860s. Moir's issue is catalogued across four major reference works, suggesting it circulated widely enough to survive in meaningful numbers.
The tokens were most likely struck in Birmingham, the source of the vast majority of Australian merchant copper from this period.
