| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large, boldly modeled close-up portrait of Sir Winston Churchill facing slightly left, filling virtually the entire field in high relief, based on a design by Mark Richards. The deeply sculpted facial features — including Churchill's heavy-lidded eyes, jowled cheeks, and furrowed brow — are rendered with striking realism and numismatic precision. The surname CHURCHILL appears in upright capital letters along the upper right rim. The composition is deliberately intimate and monumental, evoking Churchill's resolute character and commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of his death. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Churchill's death in January 1965, this crown-sized piece was released during a year that saw considerable public commemoration across Britain. Churchill had actually appeared on circulating coinage before — his was the first non-royal portrait approved for a British commemorative crown, the 1965 issue struck in the millions and handed out at schools across the country. The 2015 piece belongs to a different tradition: the modern collector crown, non-circulating in practice despite its legal tender status.
The reverse design was by Mark Richards.
