“The Roaring Lion” is launching this month from The Royal Canadian Mint. This limited edition collectible is the third coin that features an image by Karsh and as usual the product is spectacular.
The coin features a reproduction of Yousuf Karsh’s portrait of Churchill, known as “The Roaring Lion” after Churchill’s comment to Karsh “You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed!”
Our director, Mr. Fielder and Mrs. Karsh joined our colleagues at the Mint for a private tour earlier this year. See the Mint’s blog post about their visit.
See the Princess Elizabeth coin.
Watch Karsh recreate the Churchill portrait.
