| Reverse description | A standing allegorical figure of Justice occupies the central field, depicted blindfolded and turned to the left, holding a balance scale in her right hand. In the background, a sailing vessel is shown underway to the left, evoking the maritime character of colonial Australian trade. The peripheral legend AUSTRALIA arcs across the upper field within a beaded border, serving as the sole inscription on this side. The composition is typical of the standardised reverse designs employed by die-sinkers producing merchant tokens for the Victorian colonial market in the 1850s. |
