| Obverse description | A passant lion facing right, holding a large key in its forepaw, rendered in bold relief at the center of the field — a direct allusion to the arms of Gibraltar. The surrounding legend reads PAYABLE AT RICHARD CATTONS GOLDSMITH, with GIBRALTAR inscribed below the lion and the date 1813 in the exergue. The design is characteristic of British merchant token coinage of the period, with clean lettering and a well-modelled central device. |
