Notes

Krause catalogues list mintage of 9,640,000.

The designer of the 1965 Winston Churchill Memorial Crown, Oscar Neman, was born in Croatia and moved to London in 1938. He worked from a studio outside Oxford, and sculpted many recognised figures including Her Majesty The Queen. His statue of Sir Winston Churchill stands in the Members Lobby of the House of Commons, its foot now burnished bright by many years of being touched "for luck".
