Top Pop PCGS graded satin finish 1965 Winston Churchill Crown coin. While 19 million standard Churchill Crowns were issued by The Royal Mint to mark the death of British statesman, Sir Winston Churchill, only a handful appear to have been struck with this distinctive satin finish, and even fewer have been authenticated by PCGS, which currently boasts a population of just five. These coins, possibly struck for VIPs, bear the same design as the common type with Mary Gillick's elegant first effigy of Queen Elizabeth II to the obverse, paired with Oscar Nemon's portrait of the Prime Minister wearing his famous siren suit. This satin finish Churchill Crown, graded SP66 is supplied sealed in its PCGS holder.

Description Specification Summary

Satin Finish Churchill Crown

While standard 1965 Winston Churchill Crowns are very common, with some nineteen million struck by the Royal Mint, a very small number, perhaps 20 or so, appear to have been issued with this distinct satin finish.

Oscar Nemon's Churchill Portrait

Oscar Nemon's distinctive portrait of Sir Winston Churchill is shown on the reverse of this satin finish coin with 'CHURCHILL' to the right. This example does not feature the 'ON' initials seen on a couple of known specimens.

Mary Gillick's Elizabeth II Effigy

Like the standard type, the obverse of this Churchill coin features the youthful portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Mary Gillick with the date (1965) below and an inscription that reads 'ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F · D ·'.

Rare Satin Finish VIP Issue

It's unclear exactly why these Crown coins were issued, but it is assumed they were intended for important people. One example is currently held in the Royal Collection, while a handful have been offered for sale.

Authenticated By PCGS

Very few of these satin-finish Churchill Crowns have been authenticated by independent grading services, with this PCGS slabbed coin being one of only five in the population at the time of writing and currently the Top Pop example.
