The new Doctor Who 50th Anniversary coin is finally here. It’s a spectacular release combining the mythos of this cult series, with the design and packaging skills of one of the world’s most innovative mints. Doctor Who is currently the longest running and most successful science fiction television series of all time. Produced in Great Britain by the BBC, the programme depicts the adventures of a time travelling alien known as the Doctor. He explores the universe in his TARDIS, a telepathic travel machine that’s bigger on the inside than the outside, and outwardly appears to be a blue 1960s British police box. Along with a succession of companions, the Doctor faces a variety of foes while working to save civilizations, help those with whom he came in contact with and right wrongs across the universe. Doctor Who first aired in November 1963, and to date the lead role has been played by eleven different actors. The program has received recognition from critics and the public as being one of the finest British television series ever produced and is aired around the globe. Reverse Design: This depicts an engraved relief of the iconic TARDIS used by the Doctor to travel through time and space. This bursts forth out of a dynamic high quality colour printed background representing time travel. The coins border features the finely engraved words Doctor Who 50th Anniversary 1963 – 2013. Obverse Design: Each coin features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Packaging: The 50th anniversary coin is packaged in a special presentation case in the shape of the iconic TARDIS. The packaging has the distinctive sound effects of the TARDIS when opened, making it entirely unique. The doors of the TARDIS open to display the 1oz coin and Certificate of Authenticity.
