I can't find any information on that Churchill coin online?  It's not on Numista.com?  Do you have any references that you can point me to?  I'd like to learn a bit more about it?

Also in Krause, under Yemen Republic - Royalist Government. Although they have a different KM#
for it in my old 1997 catalogue. It is KM#5, so must have changed over the years.

I had to pay her back the other $20, so it still cost me $40.
Yeah, I'll have to give her only $5 or $10 next time.
