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.

∙ 14y agoSir Winston Churchill, Britain's great war time Prime Minister, died on the 24th of January, 1965.
A commemorative Crown (Five Shillings) was struck to honour his passing.
A number of other countries also produced coins commemorating the death of Sir Winston Churchill.
The British general circulation commemorative Crown had 19.64 million coins struck which have no great collector value. There was also another almost identical "Satin Finish" VIP Specimen coin struck. The exact mintage is not known, but there is quite a bit of value associated with them as a collectible coin.

Which coin had Winston Churchill's face on it?
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.
