| Obverse lettering | NEW SOUTH WALES TO THE PRIZE EXHIBITORS 1862 W. KULLRICH F. (Translation: Made by Wilhelm Kullrich.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two allegorical female figures in classical dress: Britannia seated at right, wearing a diadem and holding a trident in her right hand and a laurel wreath in her left, while a kneeling figure representing a colonial territory at left presents a cornucopia overflowing with produce and fruit. The facade of the 1862 International Exhibition building in South Kensington occupies the background in low relief, with a tall-masted sailing ship visible to the left. The legend arcs across the upper field and the engraver's inscription appears in the lower exergue. |
