| Reverse description | A detailed high-relief allegorical composition commemorating Sir Winston Churchill (1874–1965), whose right-facing bust dominates the right side of the field, depicted in suit and bow tie and holding a cigar. To the left, a dynamic scene evokes the Battle of Britain, with Spitfire and Hurricane aircraft engaged in aerial combat amid clouds of smoke, while a domed building resembling St Paul's Cathedral is visible in the lower left background amid a wartime cityscape. The legend WINSTON CHURCHILL arcs along the upper rim, with the birth and death years 1874–1965 inscribed centrally below it. The engraver's mark appears at the lower right of the field. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of Churchill's election to Parliament in 1900, this piece was part of a broader wave of Commonwealth commemoratives produced for the occasion. The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, which serves eight island territories sharing a common currency, contracted commemorative production of this type through outside mints — these were never intended for circulation and reached buyers almost exclusively through collector channels.
