| Obverse lettering | SUCCESS TO THE COMMERCE OF UPPR & LOWR CANADA . |
| Reverse description | The reverse field is entirely occupied by a seven-line commemorative inscription in capital letters, all within a beaded border, honouring Sir Isaac Brock, the British general who commanded Upper Canadian forces during the War of 1812. The text identifies him as a Baronet and Hero of Upper Canada and records his death at the Battle of Queenston Heights on 13 October 1812. No pictorial device is present; the legend itself constitutes the entire design. The lettering is bold and evenly spaced, typical of British colonial token production of the period. A suspension hole is visible at the top of the flan. |
