The commemorative 50p coins carry the late monarch's image as they were made before she died.
By Charley AdamsThe coin - priced at £11 - pays tribute to the BBC's global reach and shows a broadcast mast emerging from the Earth.
The coins were produced before the Queen died in September and will not be re-struck in order to "minimise waste or unnecessary environmental impact". The reverse side of the coin is also inscribed with "inform, educate, entertain" - the values set out by Lord Reith when he founded the BBC in 1922.Rebecca Morgan, the Royal Mint's director of collector services, said the company was "delighted" to work with the BBC "to create a special 50p" to mark 100 years of the organisation.
