Dear All,
The booklet, The Medallic Portraits of Sir Winston Churchill, apparently
dates back from 1972.
Is there a more recent one ? An article ? A Web page which lists recent
offerings by the Royal Mint or others ?
I have found
https://taxfreegold.co.uk/churchill.html
but there must be others.
Best wishes to all,
A.C.

Ely,
Your medal is by Constantino Affer and was issued by Sirom of Milan in 1965.
There are five sizes, all of which are .900 fine. 50, 40, 34, 27, and 20
mm. The 50mm are numbered (1000 struck). Quantities not available for the
smaller sizes. It seems trial strikes in silver gilt exist in the 40mm
size, although at 16.5 grams they are little more than half the weight of
their gold counterparts.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [ChurchillChat] Sir Winston Churchill coin/medal
Dear Sirs
I have a golden coin/medal with a sir Winston Churchill bust making the “V”
sign on one side.
On the reverse side, the Houses of Parliament, around the whole edge of the
coin the marks of a clock and the inscription “1940 THE FINEST HOUR”
I found nothing about that on the internet.
Could anyone provide information regarding manufacturer, material
composition, fineness, etc?
Find pictures of both sides at
