Obverse

A general perspective view of the Roscoe Place Works, extending to the full diameter of the token; on the foreground, to the right, H for Halliday, by whom the die was engraved.

Reverse

A female draped figure (Britannia - presumably typical of commerce, justice, peace, and plenty), seated upon a bale of goods. Her right hand extended holds a pair of scales; her left arm, which is by her side, supports a cornucopia filled with fruit and grain; on the bale are the letters S . I . & . Co.. In the foreground lies a sword; in the extreme distance, in front of the figure, is a ship in full sail.
