| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely typographic, bearing no pictorial devices, and displays the full commercial legend of the issuing firm arranged in bold capital letters across multiple registers within a beaded border. The firm name SMITH, PEATE & CO arcs along the upper portion, followed by their trade descriptions GROCERS, TEA DEALERS & WINE MERCHANTS in the central field, with the street address 258 & 260 GEORGE ST and location SYDNEY occupying the lower registers. This text-only format was common for Australian colonial tradesman tokens intended to serve as advertising media in daily commerce. |
