| Reverse description | The reverse field is entirely occupied by a multi-line inscription in bold raised Latin lettering arranged across the central field, reading: PAYABLE / ON DEMAND HERE / MONTPELLIER RETREAT / INN. / HOBART TOWN. The legend ONE PENNY TOKEN is inscribed along the upper arc, and W.D. WOOD appears in the lower arc, flanked by small ornamental stops. A toothed border runs along the inner rim, consistent with the obverse treatment. The design is purely typographic with no pictorial device, following the standard format of mid-19th century Australian tradesman's tokens. |
