| Reverse description | A classical allegorical female figure, personifying Australia, is depicted seated in three-quarter view upon rocky ground, draped in flowing robes. She holds a flowering branch aloft in her right hand and a long spear or staff in her left, with a sailing ship visible on the water in the background to her right. The legend AUSTRALIA arcs around the upper field in bold capital letters. The composition is rendered in a style characteristic of mid-nineteenth century British colonial trade tokens, with fine engraving detail and a beaded border encircling the design. |
