The Duke and Duchess of Wellington Presentation Cases were produced by Medals UK for the senior peers of the UK. The rank was derived from Wellington in Somerset and was originally created for Arthur Wellesley, first Marquess of Wellington famed for defeating Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo and who later served twice as the British Prime Minister.

The presentation cases were blue and featured the historically significant Wellington Royal Coat of Arms in gold foil.
