| Obverse description | The obverse features the coat of arms of the Colony of Victoria at centre, displaying a quartered shield with symbols including an anchor and a fleece, supported by a female figure on the left and a kangaroo on the right, with a rising sun above the shield. The motto scroll at the base of the arms bears the legend ADVANCE AUSTRALIA in raised lettering. The peripheral legend arcing around the upper field reads VICTORIA 1862, while the lower legend reads T STOKES MAKER 100 COLLINS ST. EAST MELBOURNE, all within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a wholly typographic design with the merchant's address arranged in three lines across the central field: 100 / COLLINS ST. / EAST, all in bold raised lettering. The circular peripheral legend reads THOMAS STOKES MAKER MELBOURNE, distributed around the full circumference of the coin within a beaded border. The field is otherwise plain, lending the piece a utilitarian, trade-token character consistent with its function as a merchant's penny token. |
