| Obverse : Monogram | GW&C | (George Wall & Co) | within a beaded circle inside raised rim. |
| Reverse : Monogram | Blank within a beaded circle inside raised rim. |
Note that this token with a blank reverse is 25% lighter and does not have the o in the Monogram like the similer sized C token, M token, and the Half Value tokens associated with the name of George Wall.
The tokens represented a value of 4½d which
were revalued to 12½ cents after decimal coinage was issued.
4½D converts to 18¾ cents at the legal 50 cents
per shilling rate adopted in 1870.
