| Reverse description | The denomination expressed as five vertical strokes (IIIII) in large Roman numerals occupies the central field, flanked above and below by a lozenge-shaped ornamental stop. The place-name legend GRIQUA TOWN is arranged peripherally, reading clockwise around the circumference in bold serif capital letters, with GRIQUA arching across the upper field and TOWN across the lower field. The overall layout is utilitarian and direct, consistent with the emergency token character of the issue. |
