Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design depicting Sir Winston Churchill, one of Britain's most renowned leaders, on the reverse side, while the obverse side features the standard effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This design was created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Churchill's death and to honor his legacy as a statesman, writer, and leader. The coin's gold content and proof finish also add to its value and collectibility.
