The reverse of the coin shows the Duke of Wellington in his later years. In the background is Walmer Castle which was his favourite residence while the obverse features the stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
