| Reverse description | The reverse displays a central decorative motif inspired by the carved discoidal stone heads of traditional Melanesian war clubs, rendered in a stylised, flower-like pattern encircling the central hole. The design is characteristic of George Kruger Gray's incorporation of indigenous Pacific artistic elements into the coinage of the Territory of New Guinea. The legend TERRITORY·OF·NEW·GUINEA encircles the upper portion of the field, while ·6·PENCE·1935· appears along the lower arc, all within a beaded inner border. |
