| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold portrait of Sir Winston Churchill rendered in high relief at centre, depicted wearing his characteristic hat, set against an evocative background suggestive of the D-Day landings.

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued on the 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings, this piece commemorates Churchill's role in Operation Overlord — a campaign he had simultaneously championed and agonized over for years. His insistence on delaying the cross-Channel assault until Allied forces were genuinely ready, against persistent Soviet and American pressure to invade earlier, arguably determined the operation's success.
The Isle of Man Treasury issues commemorative bimetallics of this type outside the Royal Mint's remit, giving it latitude to produce thematic coins that mainland British authorities typically would not sanction.
