| Obverse lettering | B.GITTOS LEATHER MERCHANT IMPORTER OF BOOTS & SHOES & c. & c. |
| Reverse description | The reverse field is entirely filled with a multi-line inscription in raised capital Roman lettering arranged in horizontal lines, reading WHOLESALE & RETAIL / LEATHER & / GRINDERY / STORES / WYNDHAM STREET / AUCKLAND / N.Z. / 1864, identifying the nature, location, and date of the issuing establishment. The legend WHOLESALE & RETAIL curves along the upper periphery following the contour of the beaded inner border. The date 1864 appears prominently at the base of the field. As on the obverse, no pictorial device is present, and the composition is strictly typographic, consistent with the austere commercial style of New Zealand provincial trade tokens of this period. |
