| Reverse description | A crowned sarcophagus inscribed with Wellington's birth and death dates flanked by furled military standards occupies the centre of the field. To the left stands a mourning Britannia in helmet and armour, and to the right a winged Victory kneels offering a laurel wreath; a recumbent lion lies in the foreground. The legend curves around the upper field, with WATERLOO and the date JUNE 18 1815 inscribed in a laurel-flanked tablet at the base. |
