Comment
This copper-nickel version is not listed in Krauze SCWC, silver version has been catalogued under KM#20 and gold under KM#20a.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting Sir Winston Churchill in a thoughtful pose, surrounded by his famous quote "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat." This design was created by sculptor and coin designer, John Mills, and it sets the coin apart from other coins in the Elizabeth II series.
