| Reverse description | Entirely typographic reverse within a plain field bounded by an inner beaded border and an outer milled rim. The central field bears a four-line legend in raised serifed capitals reading 'IMPORTER / AND / MANUFACTURER / OF BOOTS / & SHOES', advertising the merchant's trade. The surrounding circular legend reads 'LIPMAN LEVY' at the top and 'WELLINGTON NEW ZEALAND' at the bottom, with raised dot stops separating the elements. The overall design is characteristic of mid-nineteenth-century Australasian tradesman's token practice, combining a peripheral proprietor's legend with a central trade description. |
