Celebrate 100 Years of the BBC

In 2022, the BBC marks 100 years of broadcasting to the British public and beyond. To celebrate this magnificent achievement, we have created a beautiful commemorative coin that honours a century of award-winning creativity and innovation.

Honouring Shared Values

Since it’s inception in 1922, the BBC has dedicated itself to originality and ingenuity whilst striving for the highest quality service. From the dawn of radio to the advent of the internet, the Corporation has adapted to technology’s evolution and remained at the forefront of British programming for all. Values we share at The Royal Mint.

Global Reach

The special 50p features a design by Henry Gray and pays tribute to the BBC’s astonishing global reach. It is available as a gold Proof, silver Proof, silver Proof Piedfort and Brilliant Uncirculated edition to offer collectors flexibility of choice.
