| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by David Lawrence, presents a dramatic high-relief commemorative scene marking the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo (1815). In the foreground, two commanding military figures on horseback are shown in profile, evocative of the Duke of Wellington and the battlefield command, with a rearing horse rendered in fine sculptural detail. The middle ground depicts artillery pieces, cannon wheels, and infantry troops engaged in the chaos of battle, set against a panoramic landscape receding into the background field. The curved legend THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO arcs along the upper periphery, while the commemorative date 1815 appears prominently in the lower exergue. The composition conveys martial dynamism and historical gravitas befitting a gold proof commemorative issue. |
