| Reverse description | A right-facing bust of the Duke of Wellington in civilian dress occupies the right portion of the field, depicted in mature age with fine portraiture detail. To the left, a heraldic achievement showing the ducal coat of arms is prominently rendered, and below it a detailed landscape vignette depicts a fortified coastal scene with sailing vessels, evoking Wellington's military campaigns. The denomination 25 POUNDS appears in the upper central field beneath the arc legend. A small engraver's signature mark is visible in the lower field. The inscriptions 1769 and 1852 flank the legend THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON along the upper rim, commemorating the birth and death years of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. |
