| Reverse description | Britannia reclines in grief before an inscribed funerary tomb surmounted by a flame urn, a palm tree to the left and pyramids visible in the distant background, evoking the Egyptian campaign. The inscription on the tomb records Abercromby's wounding and death, while a further legend in the exergue commemorates the French defeat at Alexandria. |
