| Reverse description | The reverse features an entirely typographic design within a beaded border. The merchant's trade legend occupies the full field: the name LEWIS ABRAHAMS curves along the upper arc, the word DRAPER is prominently displayed in large serifed capitals across the centre of the field, LIVERPOOL STREET follows in a concave arc below, and HOBART TOWN curves along the lower periphery. The bold, well-spaced lettering, characteristic of W.J. Taylor's token production, serves as a straightforward commercial advertisement identifying the issuer's business and location in Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land. |
