| Obverse description | The obverse presents an entirely typographic design within a beaded border. Two concentric circular legends in raised relief fill the field: the outer legend reads MERCHANTS & GENERAL IMPORTERS, while the inner legend reads MERRY & BUSH QUEENSLAND, with the date 1863 positioned at the base flanked by raised dots. The lettering is rendered in bold serif capitals arranged radially around a plain, unadorned central field. The overall composition is characteristic of the colonial Australian tradesman's token style as produced by W.J. Taylor of London. |
