| Obverse lettering | SHIPPING AND FAMILY GROCERS METCALFE & LLOYD 478 GEORGE ST SYDNEY |
| Reverse description | The reverse field is likewise entirely textual, with no pictorial motif. The central legend WINE AND SPIRIT MERCHANTS is displayed in three lines of large raised capital letters occupying the majority of the field. A circular peripheral legend running along the upper arc reads PURVEYORS OF THE CONCENTRATED FAMILY COFFEE, completing the commercial description of the firm's trade. The date 1863 appears in the lower exergual area of the field in raised numerals. The design is contained within a beaded border and a plain raised rim consistent with the obverse, reflecting the utilitarian style common to colonial Australian tradesmen's tokens of the period. |
