| 裏面の説明 | The central device depicts a standing female figure of Justice, blindfolded and facing left, holding a pair of scales in her right hand. In the background to the left, a sailing ship is shown underway on the open sea. The circumferential legend AUSTRALIA appears around the upper portion of the field, all contained within a beaded border. The composition is typical of the allegorical reverse designs employed on Australian colonial tradesmen's tokens of the 1850s gold-rush era. |

Parker's penny belongs to the wave of privately issued tradesman's tokens that flooded colonial Victoria after the gold rushes overwhelmed the official copper supply. Geelong was the second city of the colony in the 1850s, a busy port handling gold-field traffic, and hardware merchants like Parker occupied an essential position in outfitting diggers and settlers alike. The colonial government tolerated these issues largely out of necessity — there was simply no official alternative moving through retail trade at the penny level.
