BEHIND THE DESIGN: The hidden features in the Winston Churchill £2 Set
Remembered as Britain’s legendary wartime leader, a Nobel Prize winning author and a passionate painter… Sir Winston Churchill wore many “hats” in his long and varied life.
And these are some of his roles and responsibilities that have been thoughtfully honoured with the BRAND NEW Sir Winston Churchill £2 Coin Set.
Watch our video below to discover the story behind each design in this special collection – including some special hidden features!
Already in HIGH DEMAND with collectors, each design by David Young reflects on Churchill’s undeniable legacy…
The Leader
His most famous role, Churchill is best known for leading Great Britain during World War II, where his indomitable spirit and strategic foresight rallied the British people and helped to navigate the challenges of war. David’s design shows Churchill making his famous “V for Victory” gesture…
The Writer
Churchill was a prolific writer, penning several historical accounts and memoirs. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 and that very prize can be seen in David’s design.
The Orator
Renowned for his powerful and stirring oratory, Churchill delivered some of the most memorable speeches in history, such as the “We shall fight them on the beaches” speech and a famous line from that very speech is inscribed as part of the coin’s design.
The Painter
In his later years, Churchill found solace in painting, producing over 500 works of art under the pseudonym “Charles Morin”. Churchill’s passion for painting helped him with his depression, which he referred to as his “Black Dog”. David’s design shows a black dog sat alongside Churchill as he’s painting another masterpiece.
The Patriarch
Despite his demanding career, Churchill maintained a close relationship with his family. He was devoted to his wife, Clementine and his children. David’s design shows Churchill alongside four of his children. Churchill is also holding a Marigold – in a touching tribute to his daughter Marigold who died as a child.

The BRAND NEW £2 coins in honour of literary legend Charles Dickens…
Charles Dickens is widely regarded as the greatest novelist and social critic of the Victorian era. He created some of today’s best-known ‘classic’ characters including Oliver Twist, Ebenezer Scrooge and Nicholas Nickleby, to name just a few.
And now, to mark 150 years since his passing, a brand new set of £2 coins has been issued for release by Jersey Treasury and fully authorised by Her Majesty the Queen.
The FIVE new British Isles coins, celebrate some of Dickens most famous works, of which a vast majority were based on events from his life. For example, after working in a blacking factory, both ‘David Copperfield’ and ‘Great Expectations’ were fictionalised.
Throughout his life, Dickens was a vocal critic against poverty and the Victorian social hierarchy. His novels gained unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the 20th century, critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius.
