| Reverse description | The central field depicts a view of the New Town Toll Gate, showing a gabled gatehouse building to the left with a chimney stack, accompanied by a prominent barred toll gate with decorative finials extending to the right, all set on a ground line. The scene is rendered in a naive engraving style characteristic of colonial Australian tradesmen's tokens. The peripheral legend NEW TOWN TOLL GATE arches across the upper portion of the coin, while R. JOSEPHS curves along the lower margin, both separated by small ornamental stops. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
