| Reverse description | A colorized central scene depicts Napoleon Bonaparte standing beside a seated young Betsy Balcombe in an interior setting, rendered in polychrome color print evoking a period illustration. To the right, an oval cameo-style raised portrait of Napoleon in military uniform is struck in relief. Below the central scene, a detailed engraved view of Longwood House — Napoleon's residence on Saint Helena — occupies the lower field. The legend THE NAPOLEONIC WARS arcs prominently across the upper field in bold raised lettering, flanked by ornamental scrollwork, while the denomination TWENTY FIVE PENCE appears along the lower border. |
