Description

This 1965 copper token at 20mm diameter, cataloged as TC-641945, features Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister who led the United Kingdom through World War II. Churchill died on January 24, 1965, prompting a worldwide outpouring of tributes including commemorative coins, medals, and tokens.

This token was among the many numismatic tributes produced in 1965 to honor Churchill's memory. The small 20mm diameter and copper composition made this an affordable memorial piece accessible to ordinary collectors and admirers.
