| Reverse description | Central device features the emblem of the London Missionary Society, depicting a dove in flight carrying an olive branch in its beak, symbolising peace and the Christian mission. The legend 'GRIQUA TOWN' appears above the central device, flanked by decorative stars, and the date '1890' is inscribed below. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border and raised rim, with the field left plain to emphasise the symbolic imagery. The composition reflects the religious and missionary context of the proposed Griqua Town coinage. |
