Reverse description Allegorical scene depicting Britannia in armour standing to the left, mourning before a funerary tablet surmounted by a ducal coronet and flanked by a trophy of arms; a winged Victory kneels to the right placing a wreath upon the monument, and a lion lies prostrate in the foreground. The tablet bears Wellington's birth and death dates, while the circumferential legend arcs above and the exergue references the Battle of Waterloo within a laurel and oak wreath.
