On of the first 650 piedfort silver proof 2015 Winston Churchill £5 Crowns struck by The Royal Mint and graded PF 70 Ultra Cameo by NGC. Sir Winston Churchill was a man of many talents. He was a soldier and served in Cuba, India, Sudan, and South Africa. He was a writer, both as a war correspondent and as a historian. He even won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. He was also a celebrated orator, whose speeches are often quoted today. He was also an artist who had has artwork accepted by the Royal Academy under a pseudonym. However, Churchill is best known for his achievements as a politician and statesman, leading an Allied Britain to victory over Nazi Germany. Fifty years on from his death, The Royal Mint released a series of Five Pound coins in commemoration, including this piedfort silver proof edition. The reverse features a design by sculptor Mark Richards of a close-up portrait of the former Prime Minister. It focuses on elements that make him instantly recognisable, such as his jawline, and eyes. Only one word is inscribed in the reverse: ‘CHURCHILL.’ The obverse carries Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the queen who knighted Churchill in the first year of her reign. Around the edge is an inscription reading ‘NEVER FLINCH, NEVER WEARY, NEVER DESPAIR.’ This coin is one of just 1,800 issued individually by The Royal Mint and is from the first batch of these to be minted. It’s composed of 56.56 grams of .925 sterling silver and has a diameter of 38.61 millimetres. It’s offered in its Numismatic Guaranty Company holder and displays a grade of PF 70 Ultra Cameo.
