In collaboration, BBC Worldwide Australia and New Zealand and New Zealand Mint offer this collectable 1/2oz silver proof coin to continue Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary celebrations. This release is the third issue from the Perth Mint of Australia’s Doctor Who Monsters series.

Colored reverse designs in the series showcase some of the most memorable foes encountered in the Doctor Who television program. This specific coin features a Cyberman design.

"The cold and calculating Cybermen first appear in the cult series in 1966, and eventually became a race of conquerors who reproduced by taking other organic beings and forcibly changing them into Cybermen," describes the Perth Mint on its website.

Shown on the coin’s reverse is a fictional Cyberman. A colored background adds to the contrast of the design along with a finely struck border. DOCTOR WHO is inscribed below.

As legal tender of Niue, obverses bear the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Obverse inscriptions include ELIZABETH II, NUE, ONE DOLLAR, 2014 and IRB for the artist’s initials.
