Perth Mint Coins For Doctor Who's 50th

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, The Perth Mint has produced 250 spectacularly themed solid gold tribute coins. Struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure gold, the limited edition commemorative coin replicates the artistry found on the reverse of its silver predecessor released earlier in the year.

Released by New Zealand Mint under official license from BBC Worldwide Australia & New Zealand, The Perth Mint has also been appointed the sole distributor of the coin in Australia. The coin is issued as legal tender of the South Pacific island nation of Niue and features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2013 year-date and the monetary denomination on the obverse (pictured right).

The golden anniversary tribute is packaged in a prestigious wooden case, which features a vertical insert to display the coin and its Certificate of Authenticity. Only 250 of these coins will be issued for sale worldwide.
