| Aversbeschreibung | Within a beaded border, the merchant's name R. PARKER is prominently displayed across the center of the field in bold raised lettering, divided by a decorative ornamental rule. The surrounding circular legend reads MOORABOOL STREET at the top and IRONMONGER at center-lower, with GEELONG inscribed along the lower arc, identifying the issuer's trade and address in Geelong, Victoria. The design is purely typographic with no pictorial elements, characteristic of Australian colonial tradesman's tokens of the 1850s. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A standing allegorical figure of Justice occupies the center of the field, depicted blindfolded and holding a balance scale in her right hand, facing left. In the background, a sailing ship is shown underway to the left, evoking the maritime character of colonial Australia. A circular legend around the periphery reads AUSTRALIA, enclosed within a beaded border. The composition reflects the standard reverse type used on numerous Australian colonial penny tokens of the mid-nineteenth century. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Parker's token was struck in Birmingham by the prolific diesinker John Wiener, who supplied the majority of Australian colonial tradesman's tokens during the 1850s boom years. Geelong at this point was Victoria's second city, its population swollen by goldfield traffic moving through the port. A hardware merchant positioned there in 1857 was well-placed — and a penny token bearing his name was both advertisement and practical necessity, since genuine British copper coinage remained chronically short in the colony.
The Gray 216a classification distinguishes this by a specific reverse die state. Andrews 410 and Rarity 405 cross-references confirm it among the more recoverable Parker issues, though survivors in unworn condition are not common.
