| Obverse description | Central field bears the bold raised legend DRAPERS arranged horizontally across the middle. The circular border legend reads PERKINS & CO. at the top and DUNEDIN at the bottom, all in raised capital letters within a beaded border. The design is plain and typographic, with no figural elements, relying entirely on the merchant's trade inscription to identify the issuer. |

| Reverse description | A seated female allegorical figure, representing Commerce or Britannia, occupies the central field, shown in profile facing left. She holds a pair of scales in her extended right hand, symbolising justice and fair trade, while her left arm rests upon a cornucopia, emblematic of abundance. A sailing ship is depicted on the sea in the background to the left. The figure is seated on a plinth or rocky base, and the composition is rendered in a classical style. The circular border legend reads DUNEDIN NEW ZEALAND within a beaded border. |
