| 裏面の説明 | 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. |

Issued on the bicentenary of Wellington's appointment as commander of British forces in India, this Alderney gold piece sits in a broader commemorative program the Crown Dependencies ran aggressively through the late 1990s and early 2000s — legal tender by technicality, collectible by design. Alderney, with a resident population under 2,500, has no meaningful circulation economy for gold coinage; these were struck for the collector market from the outset.
The .917 fineness matches the historic sovereign standard, a deliberate nod given Wellington's association with the Napoleonic period.
