| Reverse description | The reverse bears an entirely typographic design, with the full commercial legend of T. Pope & Co. arranged in multiple lines across the field, contained within a beaded border. The upper arc reads THE AUSTRALIAN TOKENS in bold capitals, followed by MANUFACTURED BY, then T. POPE & Co. prominently centered in large lettering. Below, in parentheses, the firm's trade description reads COIN & PRESS MAKERS, ST. PAUL'S SQR. BIRMINGHAM, with the concluding advertising phrase ARE VERY PROFITABLE TO EXPORT filling the lower portion of the field. The text-heavy design serves as a direct commercial advertisement, characteristic of mid-nineteenth-century British trade tokens. |
