Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sir Winston Churchill Silver coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Churchill on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a depiction of St. George's Hall, Windsor Castle, where Churchill lay in state after his death in 1965. This design was created by sculptor and engraver, Raphael Maklouf, and was specifically commissioned for this coin.
