| Obverse description | The obverse is entirely typographic in design, with no central effigy. Within a beaded border, the outer legend reads WHOLESALE & RETAIL GROCER arranged around the periphery. A raised inner circle frames the central field, which bears the text EAGLE arched above the prominently raised merchant name R.GRIEVE in large bold lettering, with HAWK curved below, together spelling out the location Eaglehawk. The design is purely commercial in character, identifying the issuing tradesman and his business. |
