Anyone have a source for info on this medal? Sending it in for grading and I want to provide info for verification, and to put on the label. I want to distinguish it from the copper-nickel Churchill coin of that same year.
I found info on the 56mm. The design appears to be identical. But I'd love to find specifics like weight, silver content a pic of the 38MM. Some info on
ebay, but I don't trust many sellers to get that right.
"Publisher: London : Spink & Son, 1965.
Physical Description: 1 medallion : silver ; 5.6 cm diam
General Notes:
Engstrom, J. Eric. The Medallic Portraits of Sir Winston Churchill, p. 23.
Obverse shows a bust of Churchill in front of a shelf with books and paint brushes. Text at bottom: "Winston Churchill, 1874-1965". Reverse shows a defiant soldier with raised fist guarding England's shores with enemy planes above. Adapted from the famous cartoon by Sir David Low. Text at bottom: "Very well, alone".
Here's a link to the type I am talking about currently available on
ebay.
