Churchill 1965 Crown
Sir Winston Churchill died on the 24th of January 1965. An accomplished statesman who led Britain through the tumultuous World War II as an army officer, he went on to pick up the pieces of the United Kingdom after the war as the Prime Minister. Following his political career, he went on to become an eloquent writer and speaker.
The first Crown coin to feature anyone outside of the Royal family
Also, the first coin to not show a denomination

The coin is in stunning condition and these photos do not properly show the condition

I have one of these but certainly not in the same condition. Looks about MS64-65 (Sheldon).

I've had several of these over the years, now down to my one best example--perhaps MS65. Personally, I like the coin, many others have issues with the design. They can be had on eBay for anywhere between $1-$10, in AU58 to mid-MS grades. Slabbed examples in the MS range go for a little more.

You can get them UNC in original plastic casing for $3-6 in Australia. Nearly 20 million minted so plenty still floating around in good grades, thus prices are pretty low. I wasn't aware WC was the first non-Royal on a crown. Thanks

Not quite sure what you mean here. It was the first Elizabeth II British crown not to show a denomination (the 1953 and 1960 issues did) but traditionally most British crowns didn't show a denomination - the first ones to do so were the George V Wreath crowns of 1927.

I wasn't aware WC was the first non-Royal on a crown.

Well, he was the first commoner on coins since Cromwell's coins during the English Civil War.

Most British coins prior to 1800 don't show a denomination. Most crowns don't, as noted by NumisRob above, and none of the gold coins (sovereigns and guineas) do.
