Comment
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British statesman, military officer, and writer who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 (during the Second World War) and again from 1951 to 1955. Apart from 1922 to 1924, he was a member of Parliament (MP) from 1900 to 1964 and represented a total of five constituencies. Ideologically an adherent to economic liberalism and imperialism, he was for most of his career a member of the Conservative Party, which he led from 1940 to 1955. He was a member of the Liberal Party from 1904 to 1924.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sir Winston Churchill 1995 Liberian non-circulating coin is that it features a unique design that showcases Churchill's profile in a rather artistic manner, with his face depicted in a somewhat abstract and stylized way, which sets it apart from other coins that feature more traditional portraits of the former British Prime Minister.
