| Reversbeschreibung | 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. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
W.D. Wood operated a hardware and general merchant business in Hobart during the 1850s, a period when the colony of Van Diemen's Land — renamed Tasmania in 1856 — suffered a chronic shortage of official small change. Colonial governments were slow to supply adequate copper coinage, and private traders filled the gap by commissioning tradesman's tokens struck in Birmingham, typically by firms such as Heaton's. Wood's penny token circulated as functional currency by mutual commercial consent rather than legal sanction, redeemable at his premises.
Andrews #641 is among the better-documented Tasmanian private issues, with die links traceable to other colonial tokens of the same period.
