We will give an abstract characterization of an arbitrary self-adjoint weak$^*$-closed subspace of $\mathcal{L}(H)$ (equipped with the induced matrix norm, the induced matrix cone and the induced weak$^*$-topology). In order to do this, we obtain a matrix analogues of a result of Bonsall for $^*$-operator spaces equipped with closed matrix cones. On our way, we observe that for a $^*$-vector $X$ equipped with a matrix cone (in particular, when $X$ is an operator system or the dual space of an operator system), a linear map $\phi:X\to M_n$ is completely positive if and only if linear functional $[x_{i,j}]_{i,j}\mapsto \sum_{i,j=1}^n \phi(x_{i,j})_{i,j}$ on $M_n(X)$ is positive., Comment: It is a pre-refereed version of a paper that will appear in Lin. Alg. Appl. The proof of Lemma 5 are removed in the published version. Some equation numbers and some statement numbers are also altered in the published version
