| Obverse description | A standing Maori warrior in traditional dress is depicted at centre, positioned beside a tree fern; a kiwi and a canoe appear in the foreground, with a mountain range in the background. The legend NEW ZEALAND runs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. The composition reflects a romanticised colonial-era representation of New Zealand's indigenous and natural heritage, executed in low relief typical of mid-nineteenth century trade token engraving. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field carries a fully inscribed advertisement in multiple lines of bold raised Latin lettering across the centre, reading SOLE AGENTS FOR JOHN BRINSMEAD & SONS PIANOS. The circular legend MILNER & THOMPSON'S CANTERBURY MUSIC DEPOT & PIANOFORTE WAREHOUSE runs along the periphery, separated by a small ornamental stop at the base. The entire design is enclosed within a toothed or beaded border, consistent with milled trade token production of the colonial period. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional devices or emblems. |
