| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bust of Sir Winston Churchill facing slightly left, depicted in characteristic pose wearing a bow tie and suit, with a cigar in his mouth and his right hand raised displaying the famous V-for-Victory sign. The portrait is bold and detailed, occupying the central field in high relief. The legend SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL arcs around the upper periphery, while the iconic wartime quotation WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER appears to the right of the portrait in the field. Churchill's birth and death years 1874–1965 are inscribed along the lower exergue. |

Issued fifty-five years after Churchill's death, this Gibraltar piece falls within a long tradition of the territory commemorating British statesmen — a politically pointed habit for a place whose population voted 99.6% to remain British in the 1967 sovereignty referendum. Churchill himself had a complicated relationship with Gibraltar's strategic role, relying heavily on it during the North Africa campaigns while simultaneously frustrating the Colonial Office over wartime resource allocation to the garrison.
