This lightly circulated 1965 copper-nickel English 5 shilling coin was the very first time a commoner's bust appeared on an English coin.

His exploits in the Boer War read like an Indiana Jones adventure. I grew up watching the 20th Century on CBS. The images of the defiance in his face when addressing England and the world were burned in my mind. His magnificent paragraph-long sentences as he defied Adolph Hitler found there way into several English classes and numerous history classes.

Enjoy.
