Big Weird Coin With Churchill on it?

[Bushido Dude]

Hello all,
to make a long story semi short, took girlfriend to surgury today (tonsils and anoids removed, yuck) and stopped by grandma's to wish her a happy 85th while waiting for the girlie to get better. So while at g-mas i was going through some stuff for her and found this coin that she told me i could have. It is about the size of a morgan dollar but a little bit thicker, silver looking but i don't think it is. It has a picture of elizabeth II on one side with the words " ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F.D." and the date 1965 on the obv side and the rev has a picture of churchill on it and it says "CHURCHILL". WEIRD . Any help would be awesome!!!! Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a happy holiday season.
