LEE R. JONES
Lee R. Jones is one of The Royal Mint’s senior engravers and has produced many evocative coin designs, including the reverse design that features on the 70th Anniversary of D-Day £5 coin, brilliantly capturing the courage and sacrifice made by those ‘rank and file’ troops on the ground. For this four-coin set, Lee wanted to convey a sense of the great leader’s character:

“It was a challenge to take the words of Churchill and represent them on the relatively small canvas of a coin. Fortunately, his words were so powerful and pure in vision that I was able to select the heart of his message, presenting them against evocative images. Each coin represents a facet of the complex yet formidable character that led a nation through the Second World War.”
