Gibraltar has issued Churchill commemoratives with some regularity, but this entry in the "Unruly Youth" series draws on the well-documented turbulence of Churchill's early years — his poor academic record at Harrow, his father Lord Randolph's open contempt for his son's abilities, and a Sandhurst entrance examination he failed twice before passing on the third attempt in 1893. The gold plating on copper-nickel is a production choice that keeps these accessible as collectibles rather than bullion.
