The (In)Famous Winston Churchill Crown – This absolutely unique Crown was minted in the UK in 1965 as a commemorative just after Sir Winston Churchill’s death. The wartime prime minister is depicted most unusually in a “siren suit” (a quick pull-on jumpsuit that Londoners could don during the Luftwaffe’s night-time raids as they made their way to bomb shelters). This is the first British coin of the realm ever issued that depicted a commoner. The obverse of the Crown shows Mary Gillick’s portrait of a very young Queen Elizabeth II. This coin is a unique piece of British, world, and WWII history and would make an excellent addition to any world coin collection or a unique gift for someone you know who can recall those immortalized war years.
