| 背面描述 | 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. |

Milner & Thompson operated as grocers and provision merchants in Christchurch, New Zealand, issuing tradesman's tokens during the 1860s when the colonial copper coinage supply from Britain was chronically inadequate for everyday transactions. The "Small Series" designation distinguishes these pieces from the firm's earlier, heavier issues — a practical response to shifting commercial needs rather than any official directive. Andrews 383 is notably scarcer than its larger counterpart, with surviving examples disproportionately concentrated in institutional collections rather than the open market.
