| Obverse description | Central device depicts a naturalistic bouquet composed of three distinct plants — a thistle, a shamrock, and a rose — symbolizing Scotland, Ireland, and England respectively, bound together at the base and rising prominently within the field. The legend encircles the design along the periphery, reading AGRICULTURE & COMMERCE above and BAS - CANADA below, separated by cross ornaments. The entire composition is set within a plain raised rim with a fine dentilated border. |

| Reverse description | Central device features a bold American-style eagle displayed in profile to the right, its wings partially spread, perching upon a heraldic oval shield bearing horizontal lines and a central anchor — an emblem associated with trade and maritime commerce. Thirteen six-pointed stars are dispersed around the eagle in the field, referencing the original American states. The merchant's trade inscription encircles the design along the periphery, reading T. DUSEAMAN BUTCHER above and BELLEVILLE below, punctuated by star ornaments, all within a plain raised rim. |
