This is the 2nd coin with Churchill on it for 2015.

2015-Churchill-£20-For-£20

The first was the £5 coin.

The 20 Pound coin is by far the better design. I like it.

Maybe one day they'll use the portrait of Winston in bowler hat with Tommy gun that caused Hitler to rant about the 'gangster Churchill', but I doubt it.

Is this the picture that you are speaking about?

2015-Churchill-£20-For-£20

Looks like they are turning orders around quickly for the £20 to £20. Ordered some this morning and I already received the dispatch notification.

That's the photo, alright. Great coin concept!

Churchill was a good shot, and enjoyed trying out the commando-issue weapon shown.

He also outshot Eisenhower and Bradley with the M1 Carbine. Patton was a better pistol shot, however, having competed in the 1912 Olympics.

Ordered mine today.
Don't particularly like the design, didn't like last years either tho.
Also while I was on ordered the Battle of Britain 50p, simply because it has no denomination.
First time I've paid for a coin I WILL get in circulation before.
