Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting Sir Winston Churchill in a standing pose, with his famous victory sign, surrounded by the inscription "CHURCHILL 1940-1945" and the coin's denomination "500 POUNDS". This design was created by sculptor and coin designer, John Bergdahl, and it's the first time that Churchill has been featured on a UK coin.
