Great Britain 1965 Churchill Crown Brilliant Uncirculated in Display Box

Product Description

This extremely popular, magnificent single-year tribute to the "British Bulldog" was the first coin in Britain's history to depict a commoner. Upon Winston Churchill's death in 1965, the big copper-nickel crown was issued in recognition of his contribution to freedom. As Prime Minister during WWII, Churchill's leadership was crucial to eventual Allied victory; his refusal to accept anything less than unconditional surrender by the Axis powers never wavered. Queen Elizabeth II obverse. Nestled in a protective capsule, each Brilliant Uncirculated crown is housed inside a presentation box, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
