99 pence
You are probably referring to the 1965 commemorative Crown (a denomination equal to 5 shillings, or a quarter of a British pound) issued in Great Britain. The coin is larger and thicker than a US silver dollar, and there is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth the Second on the front, and a portrait of Winston Churchill on the back. It is worth about a dollar in circulated condition.

Try eBay or a reputable coin dealer. They do not have all that much value , so do not go to too much trouble. British 1965 Crown - Churchill commemorative.
The last British Crown (5 Shillings) coin to be minted was the 1965 Churchill Commemorative.
There were no coins issued in 1977 to commemorate Churchill. The 1965 cupro-nickel five shillings issued in 1965 to commemorate his death are worth from 50p to £1. In 1977 Queen Elizabeth II commemorated her silver jubilee. 25p coins were issued in cupro-nickel (now worth 30p - 50p) and those made in silver have a scrap value of around £15.
The Royal Mint did not produce a 1965 rhodium plated 24 carat gold Churchill Commemorative coin. Any such coin would most likely have been privately minted and would only achieve the value of the metals used, maybe a little more.
The coin you have is a Churchill Commemorative Crown and NOT halfcrown. Worth around 50p - £1 today (they were mass produced in 1965....just under 20 million struck in cupro-nickel - an alloy of copper and nickel).
The "Churchill Dollar" more correctly known as the British 1965 Crown (Five Shillings) Churchill Commemorative coin is made from a copper-nickel alloy as have all circulating British "silver" coins since 1947.

Winston Churchill said it about the RAF pilots who won the Battle of Britain. Although it is generally associated with Churchill, he didn't actually coin the phrase It had been used before by someone else.He simply adapted it.
