| Obverse description | The obverse is entirely typographic in design, bearing no pictorial device. The peripheral legend ROBERT HYDE & CO and MELBOURNE curves along the upper and lower portions of the coin respectively, separated from the central field by a continuous beaded border. Within the central field, arranged in stacked lines, the trade inscription reads GENERAL MARINE STORE, followed by a horizontal rule, and below it SHIPPERS OF RAGS GLASS METALS & C. The composition is purely commercial in character, serving as an advertisement for the issuing firm. |
