| Beschrijving keerzijde | Right-facing bust of Sir Winston Churchill in military uniform and peaked cap, rendered in 24-carat gold plating against a black ruthenium field, dominating the central design. The legend WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE BEACHES is inscribed in three lines to the left of the portrait within the inner field, referencing his celebrated address to the House of Commons on 4 June 1940. The border carries the inscription SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL along the lower arc and the dates 1874 - 1965 along the upper arc, all in raised Latin lettering. The initials DC appear below the truncation of the bust. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Churchill's "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" speech was delivered to the House of Commons on 4 June 1940, three days after the Dunkirk evacuation concluded. It was never broadcast live — the public heard it only through a recorded re-reading later that evening on BBC radio. Gibraltar's choice of this speech for a commemorative issue is geographically pointed: the Rock itself was a frontline garrison throughout the war, subject to sustained Axis pressure to cede it to Spain.
