Hamer in his 1906 article for the BNJ wrote: 'A profile head of Adam Smith, wearing his natural hair, appears on some small medals or tokens, of which very few were struck. The reverse represented a seated female figure, draped, lamenting over a trophy of arms. Signed J MILTON F on the ground work. No legend on either obverse of reverse; edge plain. The dies for these were cut to the order of Colonel Fullerton, afterwards Governor of the Island of Trinidad'
