Reverse description A seated allegorical female figure, draped in classical robes, occupies the central field, holding a staff entwined with a serpent — an emblem of medicine and healing — in her right hand. Additional symbolic elements are arranged around the figure, evoking themes of health and commerce associated with Holloway's patent medicines. The curved legend 'HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT' arcs prominently around the upper and lateral periphery. The date '1857' is inscribed in the lower exergue. A fine dentilated border surrounds the entire composition, consistent with mid-Victorian medallic engraving practice.
